PREFACE 

To Every User of This Book 


The aim of the compiler of this list has been to make an essen¬ 
tially complete enumeration of the literary markets of the United 
States, Canada, Great Britain and the British and American colonies, 
listing them in compact and accessible form, with special thought 
to those periodicals and other buyers likely to purchase manuscripts 
most freely. The reliability of the listed markets is, of course, not 
guaranteed, but great care has been exercised so as to exclude pub¬ 
lishers and producers of bad repute with writers in general. 

No such list can be absolutely complete in the sense of including 
every shy and disappearing wanderer in this field nor can such a direc¬ 
tory be in every particular and for all time correct, because new pub¬ 
lications are being born constantly and others are suspending. Under 
ordinary conditions, the periodical world exhibits a constant state of 
flux, and it has been especially changeable in the last few years. The 
aim has been to ensure a consistent accuracy. Writers who have in¬ 
formation regarding markets which should or should not be listed 
herein are earnestly requested to send such items to the editor for use 
in revisions of this volume, which will take place from time to 
time. Current market news is published each month in The Writer’s 
Monthly.* 

Some magazines use greater diversity of material and much more 
material, than others. Concerning these magazines, the fullest informa¬ 
tion is given. Every endeavor has been made to ascertain precise 
needs, but it is always wise for the writer to procure copies of the 
publication when shaping manuscript for some particular periodical. 
A sample copy of any magazine may usually be had on receipt of the 
current price of a copy, as given herein. 

For greater convenience of reference the magazines and other 
markets are arranged in groups. Special information relative to 
each group is given under the separate headings; and the viewpoint 
or slant of periodicals (a matter of the greatest importance to au¬ 
thors) is indicated wherever possible. In the case of one company 
publishing a number of magazines, the writer will desire to know 
whether manuscripts submitted for one of the string will be read for 
all, or whether each magazine should be separately addressed. A 
general rule cannot be formulated; but information of this kind will 
be found in both places, under the firm name and under their periodi¬ 
cal. 

The Street and Smith magazines constitute one of the largest 
groups: Ainslee’s, Popular, People’s Story, Top-Notch, Detective-Story, 

•Editor, J. Berg Esenwein. Per copy, 25c; per year, $3.00. The Home Correspondence 
School, Springfield, Mass.

WHERE AND HOW TO SELL MANUSCRIPTS 


Western Story, Love Story, Sea Stories, Picture-Play and Film Stories. 
Manuscripts may be sent to individual magazines or to the company. 

As for the Munsey magazines, Munsey’s and Argosy-Allstory, 
New York, they request that a manuscript be addressed to the com¬ 
pany, because the same editorial staff conducts both the magazines, 
and this staff considers a story impartially for both. Adventure, 
Everybody’s, and the Delineator belong to another group, but for ob¬ 
vious reasons, the magazines should be addressed separately. 

The Hearst group, at 119 West 40th Street, New York, is another 
big one. The magazines vary widely. Among their publications are 
Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, Hearst’s, Harper’s. Bazar, Motor, 
and Motor Boating, etc. The Curtis Publishing Co., Philadelphia, pub¬ 
lishes The Saturday Evening Post, Ladies Home Journal and Country 
Gentleman. The Crowell Publishing Company is responsible for the 
American Magazine. Collier’s Weekly, and Woman’s Home Compan¬ 
ion. Manuscripts should be sent to individual periodicals in these 
groups. 

Other groups of big fiction magazines are Snappy Stories and 
Live Stories (The New Fiction Publishing Company); Young’s Maga¬ 
zine and Breezy Stories; also Smart Set, Saucy Stories and Field 
and Stream. At Chicago are the Red Book, and Blue Book. At Garden 
City, L. I., New York, are Country Life, Garden Magazine, 
Short Stories, and World’s Work, all these published by Doubleday, 
Page and Company. The MacFadden Publications include Physical 
Culture, True-Story Magazine and others. In Brooklyn, N. Y., there 
is a motion-picture group, consisting of the Motion Picture, The 
Classic, Beauty, and Shadowland. Vogue, Vanity Fair, and House and 
Garden, all published at 19 West 44th Street, New York, compose a 
“fashion” clan. 

There are other groups, among them being various Sunday-school 
publications. David C. Cook Company, Elgin, Illinois, is one of the 
largest of these. They publish Boy’s World, Girl’s Companion, What 
To Do, Young People’s Weekly, and others, and all use numerous short- 
stories and articles, paying promptly at from four-tenths to one-half 
a cent per word. Every age, from the little tots to young people 
of eighteen years,. is represented, so the market is wide. They will 
send books telling just what they need and sample copies of periodicals 
free. 

Of others in that classification, there are the Methodist Book 
Concern at Cincinnati, The Baptist Publication Society at Philadel¬ 
phia, and Nashville, Tenn., also the various other church and Sunday- 
School publications. 

There are also one or two big groups of farm papers, among 
them the Capper publications at Topeka, Kansas, and the Orange Judd 
publications at Springfield, Mass. The groups of technical magazines 
are so various and extensive that they cannot be considered here. One 
of the largest of these is the U. P. C. Book Co., Inc., New York, pub¬ 
lishing Iron Age, Hardware Age, American Architect, Building Age, 
Metal Worker, Automotive Industries, Motor Age, Motor World, Motor 
Boat, Commercial Vehicle, Dry-Goods Economist, Drygoodsman, and 
Boot and Shoe Recorder.*

There are certain time-tried regulations for preparing and sub¬ 
mitting manuscripts which should be heeded by intending contributors. 
The following suggestions are taken or adapted from “Writing for the 
Magazines.”* 

Use plain white paper of good quality, letter size (8% x 11), and 
be sure that it is not transparent. 

Type your manuscript on one side of the paper only, and in typ¬ 
ing double space is better than single or triple. 

Leave proportionately as large margins on all sides of the typed 
page as you see on this printed page. 

It is useless to submit pencil-written manuscripts unless you have 
an understanding with the editor. 

For mailing, fold the letter-size sheet twice, thus leaving three 
equal parts of the paper in folds. Positively never roll the paper. 

Many, though not all, editors prefer that short manuscripts should 
not be permanently fastened or bound. 

Be sure to number (folio) the sheets from first to last, and not 
merely by chapters. 

Use large and strong envelopes for sending out manuscripts. 

It is far better to enclose a stamped, self-addressed, tough en¬ 
velope for the possible return of the material, but if you really cannot 
do this, send stamps, enclosed in oiled paper or in a small envelope. 
Do not pin, clip, or stick stamps to your letter, and in no circum¬ 
stances put them in the outer envelope loose. 

Be sure to prepay all postage fully, at letter rates. Manuscripts 
may not legally be sent by parcel post. It is a good plan to type your 
name and address on each sheet. 

At the top of the first page of your manuscript place the follow¬ 
ing information: 

Submitted by 2500 words 

Henry L. Potter, 

186 Drew St., 

Binghamton, N. Y. 

MR. ULYSSES OF ITHACA 
By Henry L. Potter 

In estimating the number of words, count several lines on the 
average page in order to average the number of words to a line. 
Multiply by the number of lines on the page, and then by the number 
of pages. Count the short lines as though they were full, and esti¬ 
mate carefully. 

Letters to editors should be short, or omitted entirely. Proposals 
to submit manuscripts to editors should only be sent in exceptional 
cases. Personal interviews should not be expected, except as invited 
by the editor. 

Be sure to address the magazine by its correct style and at the 
proper street number. Magazine addresses frequently change. It is 
essential to be accurate in every particular even in those matters 
which involve merely technical details. 

It is better not to set a price on your manuscript, though a few 
well known writers do. If you are not content to offer your manu-

scripts “at regular rates”, courteously ask the editor to make an 
offer. It is prudent for the beginner to accept the regular rates of 
the magazine and send no more manuscripts if the check is not satis¬ 
factory. In case a manuscript is held by the editor of a magazine 
for a long period, or if the writer desires for any reason to withdraw 
his manuscript from the hands of an editor, such withdrawal may be 
made by requesting the editor to return the manuscript at once. If 
this letter is registered the writer will have record that it has been re¬ 
ceived by the editor in question, and he can then offer his manuscript 
elsewhere. 

As a rule the use of a pseudonym is not desirable. Where a 
pseudonym is employed, it is ethical to inform the editor that the 
signature is a nom-de-plume, and give correct name also, or else state 
quite simply and directly the reason for not divulging the real name. 

Submit your material with due thought to timeliness. The first- 
class monthlies and women’s magazines buy their material six to nine 
months before the date of issue. They are in the market for Christmas 
stories in April, New Year repentance in May, Valentine tales in June, 
March bluster in July, and so on around the year. 

They may buy fillers, short prose or verse requiring no illus¬ 
tration as late as May or June for Christmas numbers, and depart¬ 
ment editors may buy short stuff for their departments in October. 
But in the big monthlies May is usually the last call for stories or 
articles requiring illustration. 

A successful writer of general magazine material has compiled 

this

Be businesslike and use a manuscript record for keeping track 
of your work. Errors and losses are certain to occur at times, 
against which some simple form of literary bookkeeping is but a 
sound precaution. 

Lastly, it is most important to use discretion and judgment in 
submitting manuscripts. These should not be sent around indis¬ 
criminately; the character and tone of each publication should be 
studied. It is obviously not good business and may be prejudicial 
to your work in the future, to submit anything markedly below the 
magazine standard. 

Sometimes the employment of a literary agent is desirable, but 
for beginners commonly not. It is quite true that a good representa¬ 
tive knows markets and can find openings which are unknown to 
the average person. It is also true that he usually gets fair prices 
for what he sells. What is more, he will act as a literary and busi¬ 
ness adviser for a writer whose work is succeeding and often thus 
develop him rapidly. However, reliable literary agents in the United 
States are few, and in no case can any agent successfully handle 
mediocre material. The average writer with common sense will have 
a more satisfactory experience acting as his own salesman. 

Don’t, in sending manuscript, write the editor saying that you 
saw in this or any other book that his publication was in need of 
material. 

Don’t pay for the production of your work in expectation of 
financial returns. In not one instance out of a thousand is it 
financially profitable for a writer to pay for the publication of his 
song or his story. 

Don’t believe that anyone on earth has the “pull” to get your 
manuscripts accepted by reputable magazines unless your work is 
really good enough to win without that pretended “pull” . 

Don’t believe that any “school” or “bureau” or critic knows how 
to lead you through a secret short-cut to success, to take the place 
of willingness to work hard and persistently. 

Don’t believe that any literary sales agent can sell unsalable 
material. 

Don’t allow yourself to be discouraged because your manu¬ 
script has been rejected. Better it if you can, and send it forth 
again. Availability is the chief editorial test. Cultivate a journal¬ 
istic sense. Know your work and its limitations, and write for 
definite ends. 

A few instructions in the method of using this book to best 
advantage may be of value: 

As a first move, consult the Table of Contents, wherein you 
will very likely find a section devoted to the kind of periodicals or 
markets for which, in a general way, your manuscript seems to be 
fitted. For example, if your story is obviously suited to the Women’s 
and Household Periodicals, you will turn to the page number given 
for that group, and read the suggestions pertinent to all; then look 
over the specific wants of the magazines listed, and submit accord¬ 
ingly. For convenience in drawing up lists of magazines to which 
to submit in turn “similar magazines” are frequently listed. 

If the name of the periodical or market to which you have de¬ 
cided to send your manuscript is known, but the exact address is not, 


0 


WHERE AND HOW TO SELL MANUSCRIPTS 


consult the Alphabetical Index at the back of the book, which will 
refer you to the page where complete information regarding the 
periodical or market, editor, etc., may be found. The names of 
magazines that have suspended publication are gathered together 
in one section. 

If you do not know where to send your anecdote, novelette, 
filler, or whatever it is that you have written, consult the Topical Index. 

What steps are to be taken to copyright a manuscript? What 
rights are granted by copyright, and for how long? In selling a 
story to an editor, are the photoplay or second publication rights 
disposed of by the sale? These and similar questions are answered 
by the sections in the back of the book devoted to the Copyright 
Law and Author’s Rights. (See Table of Contents.) 

Attention is called to the compactness of the present book. It 
has actually less pages than the previous edition—but more infor¬ 
mation. This highly desirable result has been brought about by 
adopting a new and improved typographical dress, by a re-classifica¬ 
tion of the material, thus avoiding unnecessary duplications, and by 
condensing the items to give the requisite information in the most 
succinct form consistent with adequacy. 

Lastly, this book is intended to be used as a point of departure 
for the writer in the quest of where to sell his material, and to offer 
suggestions which will in turn lead to self-suggestions. The herein 
stated periodical requirements are not to be taken too literally, 
either exclusively or inclusively. For example, other periodicals 
than Punch (British), Life and Judge use short humor—there are 
men making a living out of “funny stuff” who have never had a line 
in these periodicals. Moreover, the fact that at times one of these 
journals has printed political satire in the form of song parodies 
does not argue that such material is acceptable at all times. Your 
own knowledge of magazine contents, a journalistic heeding of 
timeliness, and the saving grace of common sense—let these guide 
you always in using this book.

FIRST GROUP 


Standard and General Fiction and Literary Periodicals; 
Reviews and Weeklies 

This is a group of miscellaneous fiction and general magazines 
which, because they are active markets, are of first importance to the 
average writer. (For the Second Group of general magazines, and 
for the Canadian, British and Foreign Magazines, consult the Table 
of Contents.) Great pains have been taken to give accurate and 
complete information concerning the needs of these periodicals. 
Nevertheless, the author should supplement this information wher¬ 
ever possible by obtaining copies of the magazine to which he intends 
to contribute, especially if unacquainted with its “habits”. The 
policy of a magazine sometimes varies even though the magazine 
does not change hands. Authors will do well to be on the lookout 
for new editorial “complexions” which may materially alter the 
requirements. 

The following suggestions are pertinent: 

Material to be submitted for special issues, and that which is 
suitable for particular seasons only, should be offered four to six 
months in advance. Weeklies consider material a shorter time in 
advance than monthlies. 

Rejections do not necessarily imply that a given manuscript is 
poor—it may be merely unavailable. Many reasons govern the de¬ 
cision of an editor. The writer should not expect an editor to criti¬ 
cize his story. At the same time, much may be learned from rejec¬ 
tion slips, and in every case when a manuscript has been returned it 
is wise to attempt to analyze the reason for its rejection. If defects 
are found in the manuscript itself it should most certainly be revised; 
and if the editor has given you the least hint as to the reason for 
rejection, this should be carefully noted and taken into consideration 
when sending manuscripts to that periodical henceforth. 

While nearly all editors will courteously and without prejudice 
examine material submitted, the possession of a “name” is, what¬ 
ever may be said to the contrary, literary capital worth working for. 
The beginner, instead of uselessly condemning this condition, should 
fall in with it and set about establishing himself. For this purpose 
the lesser magazines should not be disdained, even though the re¬ 
muneration be small or none at all. Continued publication is certain 
to bring a writer’s name in a proper and compelling way to wider 
notice, and to the editorial attention most coveted. 

A valuable study of the contents of standard magazines, to¬ 
gether with much information of lasting importance, such as the 
proportion of serial stories, novelettes, etc., in the different periodi¬ 
cals, is contained in “Writing for the Magazines.” *

from 1000 to 5000 words in length, and novels from 30,000 to 40,000 
words. I suggest that prospective contributors read our magazine 
carefully from beginning to end each issue for three or four months. 
This will give them a practical idea of our needs. Manuscripts are 
reported on within ten days.” 

About 14 booklengths, and over 100 short-stories a year. Some¬ 
what similar: Action Stories, Argosy-Allstory, People’s, Top-Notch, 
Western Story. 

Action Stories, 461 Eighth Ave., New York. Monthly; 20c; $2.00. 
Editor J. B. Kelly. Reports: “We can use novelettes, 15,000 to 
25,000 words in length, also short-stories, 3000 to 5000 words. No 
serials, two part stories, plays or poetry desired. We want colorful 
outdoor adventure and detective stories. Love interest does not bar 
stories, but it is not to be emphasized. We like stories that get 
under way quickly and are not burdened with unnecessary descrip¬ 
tion. At present we are especially interested in stories of unusual 
scientific inventions, and we are looking for good novelettes. No 
photographs are wanted. Manuscripts are reported on within two 
weeks, and payment is mad on acceptance.” 

20 novelettes or more, and 60 short-stories during the year. 
Similar magazines: Ace-High Magazine, Argosy-Allstory, People’s, 
Top Notch, Western Story. 

Adventure, Spring and Macdougal Sts., New York. Three times 
a month; 25c; $6.00. Editor, Arthur S. Hoffman. Uses clean short- 
stories of action, well told for discriminating readers, preferably 
under 3000 words. Uses also serials up to 120,000 words. Sex, love, 
problem, psychological, crime-glorifying, supernatural, morbid and 
too sophisticated stories are never wanted. All stories must be clean 
and wholesome in expression, content and intent, without preaching 
or moralizing. The love element should be a secondary interest. A 
limited amount of poetry—only such as has sufficient strength and 
genuineness to attract a masculine audience—will be considered. 
Returns manuscripts within two days to two weeks, and pays on 
acceptance. Reports particularly: “We want first of all, clearness 
and simplicity; convincingness, or truth to life and human nature; 
well-drawn characters; careful workmanship. We want stories of 
action laid any place and any time—except in the future. We strong¬ 
ly prefer outdoor stories, and are glad to get stories of foreign lands.” 

About 40 booklengths, including novelettes, per year; 200 short- 
stories or more. Other similar magazines: Everybody’s, Munsey’s, 
Popular Magazine.

$2.00. Editor, Helen L. Lieder. Uses stories of 6000 words and under

Other magazines: Blue Book, Smart Set. 

American Catholic Quarterly Review, 211 South Sixth St., Phila¬ 
delphia, Penn. Quarterly; $1.00; $4.00. Editor, Rev. P. J. Ryan, D. D. 
Considers exhaustive papers on philosophy, theology, world-litera¬ 
ture and world politics, the history of great works of arts and hymns, 
liturgical customs and the like; but these in every case must be 
written by specialists on a given subject. Prints no verse. 

The American Magazine, 381 Fourth Ave., New York. Monthly; 
25c; $2.50. Editor, Merle Crowell. The American is one of the fore¬ 
most popular, illustrated magazines. In the American the attention 
is likely to be focussed on achievement. The articles often deal with 
men who have utilized their opportunities. The success articles may 
be biographical, or autobiographical, but they must contain helpful 
pointers for other people. For feature articles 4000 words is long 
enough. Stories should be from 4000 to 6000 words in length, and 
should have good characterization and be full of punch. The tone 
should be optimistic. The editor reports: “We are always in the 
market for sketches about interesting people for use in our person¬ 
ality department. These should be around 1000 words in length and 
accompanied by an unconventional photograph. We also want short 
articles on the subject of family finance—such as new ventures in 
saving and all matters pertaining to the family purse. Manuscripts 
reported on within a week. Payment on acceptance, according to the 
value of the material to us.”

zine : McClure’s. 

American Mercury, 220 West 42nd St., New York. Monthly; 
50c; $5.00. Editors, George Jean Nathan and H. L. Mencken. To be¬ 
gin publication January, 1924. Reports: “It will be a 128 page 
magazine of rather more than the usual size, and careful attention 
will be paid to its printing. It will use articles from 1000 to 5000 
words. The subject is immaterial so long as it is American. The 
important thing is that the author must say something in a forceful 
and attractive manner. All accepted manuscripts will be paid for in¬ 
stantly. No colorless essays of the usual sort will be printed. One 
or two short-stories will be used every month, but they must be dis¬ 
tinguished in style. It will be quite useless for amateur writers to 
submit material. All unsolicited manuscripts unaccompanied by 
stamped and addressed envelopes for their return will be destroyed 
at once, and the editors will not answer inquiries about them.”

Argosv-AUstory, 280 Broadway, New York. Weekly; 10c; $4 00. 
Editor, Matthew White, Jr. Uses short fiction of 1500 to 5000 words 
containing swift action, and a decided punch; novelettes of 15,000 to 
20,000 words; and serials of 60,000 to 100,000 words. The editor 
states: “I am looking for good stories all the time, especially short 
ones. But avoid spies, ghosts, tales of the West with tenderfoot 
heroes, and yarns about story writers. Typewritten manuscript is 
not absolutely essential, but is preferable by far.” Sex stories are 
barred. No anecdotes, and but little verse used. Reports on manu¬ 
scripts within a week to two weeks, and pays on acceptance. Unless 
the author stipulates to the contrary, manuscripts will be considered

authoritative knowledge of oriental backgrounds and customs is 
used, and, rarely, verse. Separate photographs of excellent quality, 
related to any of the fields covered, will be considered. Reports in

While not a travel magazine, Asia prints articles that might 
broadly be so described, and so do: National Geographic, Scrib¬

The Atlantic Monthly, 8 Arlington St., Boston, Mass. Monthly; 
40c; $4.00. Editor, Ellery Sedgwick. One of the oldest and most 
literary of United States magazines. Not illustrated. Contributions 
for the Atlantic must meet severe tests in regard to literary forms, 
as well as internal merit and authority. Articles on nature, world 
movements, art, science, and literature are used, but most of these 
are written by invitation. In short-stories, those of finished manner, 
featuring atmosphere and character development, are preferred over 
strong plot or obvious action. A good market for the supremely 
well-done sketch—but none other. Two or three artistic and rather 
conservative poems are printed in each issue. Informing narratives

times used. Lastly, the department called The Contributor’s Club

everyday life, from the viewpoint of refinement and good breeding. 
These are often whimsical and desultory, yet never dull. The con¬ 
tributions in this department are not signed. While the Atlantic

keynotes should be sincerity, clear ?haracterization, novel but logi¬ 
cal* solutions and action which starts at the beginning and goes in a 
direct line through the story. There are no restrictions on length. 
We need fillers, short-stories up to 10,000 words, novelettes from

American magazines of the general type. The magazine has reg¬ 
istered an important change. The best key of what is wanted is to 
be found by following what has appeared since May, 1921, when the 
new editorial direction began. The editor reports: “We are inter¬ 
ested in world-politics, the new developments in science, the stage in 
Europe and America, economic problems, the problems of religion, of 
labor and capital, of education. Articles must be authoritative. We 
use one essay a month—when we can obtain an essay that we feel 
comes up to our standard. We also use from four to six short-stories. 
We use line drawings exclusively, and sometimes have drawings 
made from photographs. Our present need is for short-stories, rang¬ 
ing from 1500 to 7000 words, dealing with American life. Some

pression is that we are publishing stories only by writers of great 
reputation; that is true only to the extent that for the most part 
these writers turn out the best quality of fiction. Our articles are

within a week of its receipt.”

are particularly in demand. Anecdotes for the department “The

Editor, Arthur Preuss. Reports: “This is a journal of opinion,

selves with subjects of current interest that do not necessarily con¬ 
cern their pocketbook. Articles revealing conditions, advanced ac¬ 
tivities in the political, industrial, social, literary and religious 
world, interest us, also poetry. We are not interested in essays, nor 
thoroughly academic articles, but desire real thought upon real ques¬

Grit, Willamsport, Penn. Weekly; 5c; $2.00. Editor, Frederic 
E. Manson. This magazine has a special character that can best be 
observed by a careful reading of several copies. Uses short and 
direct fiction of from 1500 to 3000 words in length, serials of from 
80,000 to 120,000 words having an appeal to common people; special 
articles on every subject of human interest and achievement. These 
articles must be susceptible of illustration and they must have origi¬ 
nality, touching some subject that is fresh to the reader or giving 
life to an old subject. If possible eight or ten photographs should 
be submitted illustrating each article, but the article need not be 
written around the photographs. Both text and photographs are

each photograph. Some material is paid for at higher rates. Pay¬

and well-written articles of permanent interest on a wide variety of 
subjects—education, economics, literature, art, social topics, etc. 
Not a market for the article attacking the social or administrative 
order, nor for those dealing with current events. Uses a consider¬ 
able amount of poetry, which must be genuinely lyrical. The Editor’s

representative number contains seven articles, from 2000 to 5000 
words in length; chapters of four serial stories, one poem, and a book 
and art section. The editor reports: “The standard of execution for 
work submitted to us must be high; a combination of fundamental 
importance in the subject, with graphic popular treatment is re¬ 
quired. We wish especially to tell about the most significant things 
going on in the country, but the accounts must be not only authori¬ 
tative, but extremely interesting. In fiction there is the same rule. 
The writer must be able to tell a story and tell it well, but if at the

which in itself has a deep meaning, he is giving us particularly what

Johnson, Robert Morss Lovett, Philip Littell. An editorial journal 
of opinion. The magazine aims to create public opinion and much 
of the material printed is arranged for from those who are compe¬ 
tent to formulate and express noteworthy views. Very little fiction 
is used. Articles of 1500 words in length, of authoritative character 
and possessing literary distinction, and dealing with current prob¬ 
lems and tendencies, political, sociai and economic, are printed. A 
few poems of distinctive character are used. Manuscripts are re¬ 
ported on within two weeks and payment is made on acceptance. 
Reports further: “We will be glad to receive manuscripts dealing 
at first hand with interesting phases of American life, generally in 
the Middle and Far West and the South. Articles of the type de¬ 
sired might discuss outstanding social problems in a single commu¬ 
nity, large or small, or present a brief biography of an individual 
who typifies the experiences common to a group. If the theme is 
such as to deserve a sharply critical or a satirical treatment, such 
handling will be welcome. The social aspects of farm life today, 
problems of the “welfare worker”, the present value of journalism 
in the community, the morals and manners of the rising generation, 
developments in education, the present status of the small-town min¬ 
ister, the woman’s club woman, and such changes in the economic 
system as co-operative marketing of farm products and the develop¬ 
ment of mail-order buying at the expense of the local retailer are 
topics somewhat illustrative of what is wanted. This list might be 
extended almost indefinitely, since no aspect of the social history of 
our time is excluded from discussion. Some degree of vivacity and 
a reasonable amount of humor will be welcome. Two thousand 
words will be the absolute limit of length. Accepted manuscripts 
will be paid for at regular rates, and those found unavailable will 
be returned promptly.

35c; $4.00. Editor, Elizabeth B. Cutting. A review similar in form 
to the great English reviews. Its well informed articles discuss 
world tendencies, finance, science, religion, etc. Since these articles 
must have force and distinction, the editors often invite them from 
those known to be competent to deal with the subjects treated. A 
typical number includes ten forceful articles from 1000 to 2500 words 
in length; one poem of considerable length, and editorial matter and 
reviews. Reports promptly and pays on acceptance.

risibilities, but reflection on the part of our readers.” Good short 
fiction is desired with the emphasis on character rather than plot.

able, are not desirable. Manuscripts are reported on promptly and

Women’s and Household Periodicals 


This list comprises the second most valuable outlet for gen¬ 
eral writers. There is, of course, some specialization in material, 
especially in non-fiction, and sample copies of the publication to 
which the writer expects to contribute should be obtained when plan¬ 
ning work for any specified market. Where periodicals have not 
supplied definite information for the book, this probably means a 
restricted but not necessarily a closed market. In general, the more 
limited the field, the rarer that story which “just suits”. 

The farm papers (see Agricultural Publications) and almost all 
the great day and Sunday newspapers (see Newspapers and News¬ 
paper Syndicates) buy household material for their women’s pages, 
but the greater part is supplied either by syndicates or by members 
of the local staff. It is in every case advisable to study the con¬ 
tents of several issues of a newspaper before offering material. In 
no field is the exercise of judgment more necessary than in the news¬ 
paper field. Keep a copy of your manuscript, as newspapers are not 
usually so careful in preserving and returning manuscript as are 
magazines. 

The tone of the household magazines is that of idealism and 
helpfulness blended. The wholesome, unsophisticated love story, 
often presenting (and satisfactorily solving) some common problem 
of home or family life, has been developed to a high degree of work¬ 
manship. But non-fiction is even more in demand. Short sermon- 
ettes that are sound and sensible on all the relationships of life, 
practical articles on housebuilding, interior decoration, rugs, gar¬ 
dens, domestic science, etc., very brief experience items referring to 
sewing, care of pets, short-cuts, economics, church activities, and a 
hundred similar subjects are always acceptable.

words. Articles, to 3000 words, deal practically and informatively

Agricultural, Garden, Country Life and 
Allied Publications 

This is the third most important section. Writers must, however, 
bear in mind that the needs of agricultural and allied publications are 
highly specific. It is an utter waste of time and postage to offer gen¬ 
eral articles or material that is not based upon solid information 
drawn from experience. Farm editors like “stories” of personal, if 
modest, achievement, and they are not so insistent upon literary as 
upon effective treatment. Facts and methods are more desirable than 
supposititious cases and theories. While farm papers offer a good 
market for the by-products of a discreet, observing and industrious 
general writer, manuscripts must bear no ear-marks of having been 
gotten up for the sole purpose of selling. Editors and readers alike 
are deservedly suspicious of such. 

Some of the periodicals maintain a staff which supplies most 
of the material used, and others report that they are not in the mar¬ 
ket for unsolicited or general contributions. This does not mean that 
brief, to-the-point articles are invariably refused, for most of these 
editors welcome the work of a beginning writer, if he has “the goods” 
—because a new name is not hackneyed by much previous mention, a 
position directly opposite that of the standard magazines. Payment 
is very often a matter for special arrangement; and as matter is often 
gratuitously contributed to the smaller or special class publications, 
when sending to them the writer should always signify whether or not 
payment is expected. 

In respect to fiction, the household departments of the general 
farm periodicals of large circulation use novelettes, short-stories and 
sketches in moderate quantity; and children’s stories for the juvenile 
columns, puzzles, rebuses, etc. Novels are usually, although not al¬ 
ways, arranged for on a second-rights basis—that is, after having 
been previously published elsewhere. Novelettes should be clear 
and wholesome and redolent of the outdoors—not enough of these to 
satisfy the demand. 

The garden or country life publications have a more sophisticated 
class of readers—suburbanites or city dwellers with country estates. 
These magazines use little if any fiction, and their articles are descrip¬ 
tive of beautiful estates and gardens, prize pets or show animals, 
greenhouse flowers, landscape architecture, etc. In treatment of these 
subjects, beauty and finish are relatively more important than utility, 
but accuracy of knowledge is essential. 

Suitable tell-the-whole story photographs add greatly to the 
salability of articles for nearly all these periodicals. 

Alabama Farm Facts, Montgomery, Ala. Semi-mo., 50c. Editor, 
J. C. O’Connell. Technical articles on agriculture and live stock, poul-

tor, B. B. Clark. “We use illustrated articles up to 1200 words in 
length; but prefer items of 200-800 words in length, describing new 
labor-saving devices and machinery repairs that can be made in the 
farm shop. Our subscribers are mainly custom men; they operate 
machinery for themselves and for neighbors on a contract basis, and 
nine-tenths of them are farmers. The average reader’s farm is more 
than 200 acres in size. Anything relating to the care, operation, re¬ 
pair, and business and collections and cost records of big farm 
machinery is carefully read. While threshing comes first, we have 
a lot of portable sawmill owners reading our magazine and use many 
stories on this work during winter months. Advice on filling silos, 
baling hay, building roads, breaking new plow lands, crushing lime¬ 
stone, and operating farm power plants is always sought for sea¬ 
sonable use. We buy no fiction or poetry, and very little material for 
the Women’s or Children’s departments. Sample copies of the maga¬ 
zine will be sent on request, as we feel that only those writers who have 
read at least one issue will ‘ring the bell.’ We pay on acceptance, and 
usually pass on manuscripts within a week atfer receiving them.”

how these results were obtained. Experience is the first essential.

emphasize the human-interest element in the story. The special 
article may treat of farming technique, of co-operation in a business 
or social way, of rural institutions, or of any other subject of rural 
interest. The short articles may treat of methods or devices for 
doing farm work more efficiently. The important thing is that in 
each article, of whatever length, there must be some definite facts 
of value to lend actuality and a definite personality to lend interest.

or news with a farm twist that will interest corn belt readers. Cash

Juvenile Publications 


Besides the markets listed, many of the standard, women’s, reli¬ 
gious, educational and other magazines, as well as daily newspapers, 
run children’s pages or juvenile departments. For these markets con¬ 
sult the other sections of this book. The young people’s writer, more¬ 
over, may utilize certain kinds of material a second time by rearrang¬ 
ing it for the adult scientific and outdoor periodicals. The editors of 
these magazines are constantly in search of material likely to interest 
the lad as well as his dad. Visitors to Children’s Rooms in libraries 
know how well-thumbed are magazines like Adventure, Camera Craft, 
Field and Stream, etc. (See Topical Index, under Periodicals for 
Grown-up and Youth). 

One of the chief needs of juvenile periodicals is brief short-stories 
that inspire but do not preach. The average of eraftmanship in this 
department of fiction steadily rises. Boys and girls of today are 
critical, and the editors of their favorite magazines must perforce re¬ 
fuse stories that are implausible, or that are too obviously designed 
to teach a lesson, or that have little action or reason for being. They 
must also reject stories that picture crime or that otherwise come with¬ 
in the taboo; that are not adapted to the age of the periodical’s read¬ 
ers, etc. 

Articles should convey real information, scientific knowledge or 
useful facts in a popular and get-at-able way. Good illustrations will 
aid. Many of the publications are glad of short articles and para¬ 
graphs other than fiction, brief, inspiring biographies, odd bits of 
travel, inventions of note, humorous anecdotes, and lively verse. 

A new field for children’s stories has come into” being in tales 
for oral telling. Many magazines are now using this class of story, 
in moderation, for mothers’ and teachers’ use. “Children’s Stories and 
How to Tell Them”* is a complete manual for the oral story-teller. 

The American Boy, 550 Lafayette Blvd., Detroit, Mich. Monthly; 
20c; $2.00. Editor, Griffith Ogden Ellis; Managing Editor, W. P. 
McGuire. An illustrated periodical for boys twelve to twenty. Atmos¬ 
phere, wholesome, vigorous, inspiring, informative. Stories and ar¬ 
ticles should be of such literary quality as will inculcate the best 
literary standards in the boy reader, as well as interest him and 
make its message effective. They should inspire and be a force, but 
should not repel the boy reader by too obvious “moralizing.” Writers 
who get in The American Boy are those who have a story to tell— 
a point to make—that is worth-while; a story of daring which pro¬ 
vides a hero, always demanded by boys; a story of adventure that 
satisfies the boy’s natural longing to roam; a story of an exciting 
game which, enthralling the boy, makes clear to him what is right 
and what is wrong; a story of service that will aid the boy to adjust 
himself to social life; a story of business which will give the boy a 
true impression of the workaday world he is to enter. The American

voting itself in stories, articles, and departments, exclusively to the 
varied interests of the older boys and men of America. Stories are 
chosen because of their reality, their suspense and thrill, and their 
revelation of the truths that keep the world steady. There is action 
in them—swift and stirring, but never distorted or sensational. 
There is character in them, too, and sometimes sentiment—but never 
any weak sentimentality. The. stories speak an honest language— 
we want them to do their share toward solving the great riddles of 
life. Articles are chosen because they tell facts and because they 
are written by men who have “been there and done it.” The maga¬ 
zine uses many articles on vocations. Reports promptly.

struction of occupation articles, 500 to 800 words; suggestions on how 
to give parties; how to make collections, how to earn money, and 
how to train pets. Stories wanted are those in which adults do not 
figure and the characters are boys and girls from 11 to 13 years of 
age. The plot—which should be a real plot, involving a complication, 
with the characters taking the initative, changing the course of events 
themselves—should be laid in the world of childhood. Action which 
should have punch and go from start to finish, with something especial¬ 
ly exciting at the start—is necessary, and problems and motives of char¬ 
acters should have to do with life and play normal to children. Legen¬ 
dary tales are used, 500 to 1500 words, stories based on old legends, 


66 


WHERE AND HOW TO SELL MANUSCRIPTS 


or stories of this general nature—more the setting, mystery, and 
glamour of the legendary tales than the authenticated legend itself. 
In each case there should be some distinct teaching, and child char¬ 
acters should be involved. The teaching should not be vague or of an 
allegorical nature, but should be easily grasped by children, and the 
story must have a real plot with plenty of action. Where nature or 
animals are brought in, the legends should be true to the facts of animal 
life and nature, reflecting characteristics natural to the particular ani¬ 
mal introduced. 

Plots not wanted are: Rescues on the ice; stories about floods; 
children who are left by adults to look after the house, and who meet 
with strange adventures; rescues from drowning; burglar stories; 
stories of crippled or deformed children; stories laid in the slums or of 
extremely rich or poor children; stories about children, intended to in¬ 
terest adult readers; stories about unnaturally good boys and girls; 
stories where the adult is represented as doing wrong, or is made to 
turn over a new leaf through acts of children; where the child is 
tempted to do some great sin such as theft, and is wonderfully rewarded 
for resisting; where the moral is painfully obvious; stories or articles 
involving the Civil or Revolutionary War; stories or articles intro¬ 
ducing the theater, circus, card playing, etc.; stories or articles ac¬ 
quainting readers with crime; or fairy stories. Stories, in other words, 
should be good normal stories, fitting the lives of good normal boys 
and girls. Reports promptly.

words; having a high moral tone; stories for boys of 18 years or over;

mal preaching or moral, but by conveying inspiration to the finer traits 
of well-rounded character. Instructive articles on subjects from na¬ 
ture, biography, invention, etc., may also be accepted, especially ac¬ 
companied by suitable photographs. Stories should be from 1500 to 
2000 words. Other articles should be shorter. A few short serials

buy from other publishers.” 

The Youth’s Companion, 881 Commonwealth Ave., Boston, Mass. 
Weekly; 7c; $2.50. Editor, Charles Miner Thompson. This periodical 
while primarily for young people is also read by the whole family. 
Many short-stories of American life are used, and these should not 
exceed 3300 words. There is a definite slant to all Youth’s Companion 
stories, whether the theme is humorous, adventure, success, outdoor 
sports, or everyday life. This consists in a youthful interest and en¬ 
thusiasm of approach which is essentially juvenile, but not childish. 
Love does not enter in, except as an accessory; but the bringing out 
of character and the formation of good character does. For this 
reason a short-story for the Youth’s Companion should deal with one 
important incident only. Political or religious topics should be 
avoided, and while humor is desired, farce is not. In a general con¬ 
sideration of a story for this magazine, the chief test is whether the 
story or article is helpful in its intent. Articles should not be over 1000 
words in length, and they may deal with such subjects as how to make 
things, or how to do things in a preferred way, how some boy suc¬ 
ceeded or some girl has been of help in running the home, in a 
crisis, or something else of this sort. For its Children’s Page, short- 
stories, singing verses, little verses, little songs and pieces to speak, 
games and puzzles, are required. Good photographs, which are in¬ 
teresting and timely, are purchased. Reports within a month. Pays on 
acceptance.

able; whatever tends to prove Reincarnation, and the growing ac¬

Orvis F. Jordan, David R. Piper. Feature articles telling of the or¬ 
ganization, work, and forms of community service of “union,” “fed¬ 
erated,” and denominational community churches. Photographs can¬ 
not be used. Church bulletins, advertisements, and other specimens 
of printed matter should accompany articles whenever possible. Rates, 
from $4 to $6 per thousand words. This is the only type of article 
they purchase, other material being furnished by their staff. Perhaps 
it should be said in explanation, that a union church is one formed 
by the complete merging of two or more denominational societies, 
or by a single church which, being the only one in the community, 
makes itself a community-serving church by receiving into associate 
membership the resident members of sects not locally organized. A 
federated church is one formed by the joining of two or more re¬ 
ligious societies for local worship and service, each society continuing 
to maintain its separate denominational connection. They are gather¬ 
ing much material of this sort, both for publication and for their files. 
In order to save possible duplication it might be well for writers to 
send the name and location of the church to be featured, especially 
if it has been in successful operation for more than one year. Fea¬ 
ture articles should give information as to how the union or federa¬ 
tion came to be effected, date of formation, problems met and over¬ 
come in effecting the organization; how the property question, ques¬ 
tion of benevolence, membership, denominational affiliation, and other 
questions are solved; and should play up special activities in com¬ 
munity service, gains in membership, attendance, and finances, and 
any other matters which prove the success of the experiment.

Newspapers 


Space lacks for a complete list of newspapers, nor in a book like 
this would such a list be desirable. The list of important papers here 
given is geographically arranged, and includes papers in every state. 
The political complexion of the newspaper and annual subscription 
rate are also stated. The name of the city in which the newspaper is 
printed is not repeated; as for example, Union, Springfield, Mass., 
which should be of course, construed as The Springfield Union. 

Every writer with journalistic ambitions should by all means 
get in touch with nearby newspapers as possible markets for local 
material, such as news items not likely to be gathered by the regular 
staff, additional news material, articles regarding men or places of 
especial interest, etc. Book-reviewing and other departmental work 
of a regular nature may be solicited. 

Newspapers are chary of inviting unsolicited manuscripts for, un¬ 
like magazine editors, they have neither time nor facilities for examin¬ 
ing and handling a large amount of material. Most of the fiction, 
woman’s page, and other special material is purchased through syndi¬ 
cates, because these syndicates know by long experience precisely 
what is required, and set about supplying it in a businesslike way, 
in the quantity of the length, and the special kind of matter desired. 
The local feature material is usually worked up by a member of the 
staff. 

In submitting manuscripts to newspapers through the mails, it 
is wise to mention the fact that payment is expected—if it is. Never 
send a large amount of material. Do not send the material in one 
envelope and the letter in another. Poems are usually offered gratis— 
payment for verse is made by few papers. In some newspaper offices, 
the practice obtains of clipping the article from the paper when it 
appears, and sending or taking it to the cashier for payment at agreed- 
upon space rates.

Syndicates 


Newspaper syndicates are of two kinds; those connected with 
prominent newspapers, offering second rights in material purchased 
for their own feature use; and those not so connected. The latter 
group changes more or less constantly, as might be expected. It 
is a part of the business of some syndicates to supply material for 
mailorder and other special-circulation magazines. Other syndi¬ 
cates cover the house-organ field. 

A misconception prevails that syndicate matter is in wide de¬ 
mand, that it can be prepared with ease, that the market is almost 
unlimited, and open to everybody everywhere. Nothing could be 
further from the truth. It is not a “beginner's” market; it is an 
“established writer’s” market. Those who aspire to write editorials 
“like Dr. Crane” or verses “like Edgar Guest” or “Walt Mason” 
are well advised to write like themselves instead, and to build up a 
clientele of readers through their work in the popular magazines. 
Success in the syndicates will be more certain to follow success 
in the magazines than to precede it. 

As for material distributed by the syndicates: a single article or 
short-story is ordinarily not wanted; anything less than a series is 
hardly practical from a sales viewpoint. The usual run of syndicate 
matter includes stories, novels, commonsense editorials or essays, 
humorous material, informational material, women’s page material, 
children’s material, cartoons and comic strips. A good proportion 
of the fiction furnished by the syndicates is sold on a second-rights 
basis (see chapter on Author’s Rights in this book). Many syndicates 
prefer to be queried as to the advisability of sending on material 
for inspection before the material is submitted.

Educational Publications 


These are class periodicals, centering around the business of 
teaching. The major portion of the articles printed derive their 
data from teaching experience. Yet teachers are not the only ones 
that can contribute to these magazines, as might wrongly be sur¬ 
mised. Mothers will often be able to supplement school-room prac¬ 
tice with practical advice; physicians may offer articles from the 
viewpoint of hygiene; and the skillful general writer can re-handle 
suitable material, such as recitations and games, previously used in 
other form in children’s or household magazines. 

The scale of payment for material used by these magazines is 
not high. Much of it is offered gratis, speeches at conventions, news 
items, construction notes on new school buildings, etc. Very little 
fiction is to be found in these periodicals; what there is consists prin¬ 
cipally of children’s stories for re-telling.

public school children from six to fourteen years of age to memorize 
for reciting, dramatizing or singing at school or community entertain¬ 
ments. Material must give lessons of permanent value to children, 
told in a manner to give as much human interest as possible. The 
story style sprinkled with the spice of humor is particularly valuable. 
The following subjects will give an idea of what is wanted. All of the 
cardinal virtues: honesty, truthfulness, courage, courtesy, etc. 
Patriotism dealing with everyday patriotic duties of patriots in times 
of peace. Emphasize that all children are Little Citizens and Little 
Patriots. Boy Scouts and what they are and do, Girl Scouts, ditto.

give children of all grades in a rural school a chance to take part are 
desirable.”

Magazines Devoted to Recreation, Sports, Show 
Animals and Games 


Writers are almost always people who have many interests in 
life. They match their wits in games of skill; the intense application 
of the desk is varied with hours of recreation; some of them keep 
prize pets, and still others are enthusiastic motorists or aviators. 

These hobbies may very properly be capitalized—there being 
precedent in plenty for such a proceeding. If you go on a fishing 
trip, fill your notebook with material for later use. Take photo¬ 
graphs also.. A prominent author not long ago motored through 
Northern China. Articles based on such experiences would have all 
the natural appeal of the popular travel article with an added appeal 
to the motorist. And it is not necessary to go to North China. 

These magazines cover a wide range of interest. Some have 
small circulations, and do not ordinarily pay for manuscripts. Many 
of the periodicals welcome gratuitous experience-letters from sub¬ 
scribers and readers. Photographs heighten the value of articles in 
nearly every instance.

Photoplay Magazines 

The photoplay magazines may be divided into two classes: “fan” 
periodicals, and trade journals. The “fan” magazine is published 
for those who attend the moving pictures frequently enough to 
want to know what is going on behind the scenes in the screen world. 
The articles in these magazines deal with the doings of the film 
stars, and are very completely illustrated with “stills” of moving 
picture actors and actresses, their homes, etc. The “stories” printed 
consist largely in illustrated fictionizations of recent screen plays. 
Most of this material is written by the staff or at the behest of the 
editor. 

The trade journals, on the other hand, are printed for the theatre 
proprietors, camera men, directors, etc. No “popular” material is 
used. Most of these trade journals will not accept subscriptions from 
writers, or those not actually engaged in the photoplay business. 

Classic, 175 Duffield St., Brooklyn, N. Y. Monthly; 25c; $2.50. 
Editor, S. E. Brady. In the market for photographs, light verse, in¬ 
terviews, articles, drawings, cartoons, etc., with a movie angle. 
Manuscripts reported on in two weeks. As a rule payment is made 
on the fourth of month following acceptance.

and others on the use of screens in the schools, and on behalf of

work. 2000 word articles, illustrated. Do not pay for articles.

ent film trade paper, carrying only news of the motion picture trade,

exceed 1200 words in length. All material must relate to motion 
pictures or the people who make them. Occasionally purchase

weeks usually, and payment made on acceptance, at the rate of about

missioned or done by staff writers, but doubtless if something quite

Photoplay Producers 


Changes in photoplay-producing organizations are many and 
constant. The motion picture world is a puzzling map of rent 
studios, single-picture companies, exchanges, film manufacturers, 
directors, “releasers”, financing agents, etc., etc. Over three hundred 
motion picture enterprises maintain “offices” in New York City alone. 
To print a list of these concerns, many of them inactive, or of the 
studios in the Los Angeles, Eastern, and Florida districts would 
utterly mislead the photoplay writer instead of answering his ques¬ 
tion: “Where shall I send my script?” Obviously, only companies 
high in permanency and steadiness of operation can be listed as 
affording the average writer a market. The companies given are 
those about which definite facts are ascertainable at the time of 
publication, but the list should not be taken as exclusive. Local 
and new companies may also offer a market, but caution should 
be observed in sending scripts to companies about which nothing is 
accurately known. 

It is necessary for photoplay writers to familiarize themselves 
with the personalities and dramatic story points and specialties of 
the moving picture stars. The best way to learn these facts is un¬ 
doubtedly to go to the movies and thus secure first-hand information. 
Such knowledge can be profitably supplemented by a constant read¬ 
ing of the screen journals (see Photoplay Magazines). For instruc¬ 
tion in the technique of photoplay writing, together with valuable 
hints on marketing, the writer is referred to “Writing the Photo¬ 
play”* and “The Photoplay Synopsis.”! 

Because the question comes up very frequently, the informa¬ 
tion may be advanced that the more laughable burlesques and com¬ 
edies are not written but constructed from “gags” and bits of busi¬ 
ness suggested by a staff of specialty men within the studios. No 
market exists for this class of material offered from outside because 
it would seldom fit the case. 

British photoplay markets will be found under British Markets.

Barbara, Calif. Special material only.

Photographic Magazines and Markets for Photographs 

While the information herein brought together regarding mar¬ 
kets for photographs has with few exceptions been supplied by the 
editors of the various periodicals and others within a short time of 
going to press, the intending photographer-writer may wisely study 
the field before submitting prints—or indeed before making his 
pictures—because it is often easier to select subjects known to be 
preferred in certain quarters than to find markets for pictures already 
made, and that, while good of their kind, do not seem to fit in any¬ 
where exactly. 

The list here given is more suggestive than complete. Many 
magazines listed under other headings, such as farm papers, for ex¬ 
ample, are glad to see photographs that really illustrate. A glance 
through the list of trade papers and house organs will show perhaps 
unrealized opportunities for selling photographs. In. newspaperdom, 
or with the weeklies, timeliness has much to do with acceptances. 
Kodaking has rendered picture-making easy, and, excluding articles 
intended for the camera magazines, no wider or more technical 
knowledge of photography is necessary than the ability to make a 
firm negative and a good, clear print.

cattle; flocks of sheep; poultry; big yields of hay, corn, alfalfa, grain, 
etc.; orchards in blossom and at harvest time—in fact, anything in 
the way of a photograph that is likely to appeal to a man who is 
seeking a farm. We should like the 5x7 size, but would consider 
others if good, glossy and very contrasty prints. We prefer the practi¬ 
cal over the artist—big yields of crops, handsome herds of cattle, 
anything typical of the favored agricultural pursuit of the state or 
community in which the photographer resides. We will also be glad 
to examine reliable ‘copy,’ descriptive of specific instances of profit¬ 
able handling of any branch of farming. Such articles must be accom¬ 
panied by the permission of the man about whom the article is written- 
to publish the same. We pay good prices for pictures, but they must

Markets for Postcard, Greeting Card and Calendar 
Verses and Mottoes 


The general requirements of these publishers in the way of sen¬ 
timents for postcards, greeting cards and calendars are so nearly the 
same that descriptive mention is not necessary. “Sentiments,” wrote 
W. Dayton Wegefarth, at that time a greeting-card editor, “either 
poetical or prose, must be short; they must express fine, big, friend¬ 
ly thoughts—never mushy ones; they must be of simple meter, so that 
the lilt may be readily sensed; they must sing—this, above all else, 
is important; fill them with music instead of with frothy sentiment, for 
the ear loves melody and melody is very often longer-lived than 
sentiment that lacks the ring of sincerity.” 

Hastily put-together jingles, whether humorous or otherwise, are 
not in demand, nor are slangy epigrams. 

Alfred Bartlett, 248 Boylston St., Boston, Mass. Four-line verses 
for Christmas, Easter and birthday cards. Prompt report.

The Boston Line, 178 Congress St., Boston, Mass. Consists 
entirely of Christmas cards and booklets, with a very few New Year 
numbers. Sentiments should not contain sentimental phrases such 
as dear or love, or strictly religious words such as Lord or God. 
There should be no reference to nor suggestion of pain, sorrow, 
death, sickness, misfortune, or condolence. In other words, the sen¬ 
timent should be written just as the writer would wish to send to a 
hundred different people. The sentiment must not be just a state¬ 
ment of fact, it must convey actual greetings or best wishes and good 
cheer. Sentiments should not be over four lines each in verse, or a 
short piece of prose is equally good. Sentiments may be submitted 
to this Company during July, August, September and October, and 
should be addressed to the Editor. All sentiments approved are paid 
for when accepted at $1.00 each. This concern does not promise to 
publish the writer’s name with the sentiment nor to send copies of 
the sentiment to the writer when published. 

The Bromfield Publishers, 53 Bromfield St., Boston, Mass. Four 
line verses for Thank You G'ft Cards, Good Health, Birthday, Christ¬

Markets for Humor 


Good humor is easy to sell. For “short stuff” that is really 
amusing and well expressed, there exists a demand in excess of the 
supply. Besides these, nearly all monthly periodicals, newspapers, 
and even trade publications, purchase jokes and funny sayings that are 
suitable for their columns. The leading general markets for humor 
are gathered together here. 

College humorous papers are excluded, as not being open to out¬ 
side contributions. 

American Forum, San Antonio, Texas. Monthly; $1.50. Editor, 
J. S. Bonner. Formerly K. Lamity’s Harpoon. Does not pay for 
contributions.

short-stories from 1500 to 2000 words; clever short verse, and anec¬ 
dotes. Pays on publication. 

College Humor, 102 West Chestnut St., Chicago, Ill. Four times 
a year; $1.25. Editor, H. N. Swanson. Chiefly undergraduate hu¬ 
mor. This does not mean stories dealing with fool stunts played by 
students on each other, or their professors. Much better would be 
an article on how John Jones took the same idea into the business 
world and made a fortune in chain-restaurants by clever advertising; 
and, finally, how he established a restaurant in his old college town 
and had his grim joke by issuing engraved invitations to the faculty 
to sample his Excelo Chicken Broth—“Dandy for Weak Stomachs.” 
The editor states particularly: “We place no restrictions on the 
contributor save that his material be original and be presented as 
briefly as possible. We think there is no comedy in America today 
as buoyant and lively as that which is collegiate. Don’t send us any¬ 
thing without first obtaining the latest number of College Humor 
and studying our needs. That will save your time and ours. Pay¬ 
ment is made promptly on acceptance.” 

Collier’s Weekly, 381 Fourth Ave., New York. Weekly; 5c; $2.50.

magazine widely with pictures of really significant costumes, settings, 
theatre buildings, and stages; (3) While in no way decreasing the 
publication of great foreign plays, and of criticism of developments 
in foreign drama centers, to give emphasis to new movements, new 
plays, and new artists in America, not only in New York, but in 
Chicago, the south, and the far west, where so much great work 
that seldom receives wide attention or credit is being carried on; (4) 
To establish special departments to meet the needs of women’s clubs, 
schools, amateur and little theatre groups, pageant and festival produ¬ 
cers, and public recreational institutions; (5) To make the maga¬ 
zine an authoritative drama review of all workers in the theatre as 
well as for the laity; (6) To establish a definite department de¬ 
voted to the activities of the Drama League of America wih profes¬ 
sional writers covering the field of each major league activity in

Theatrical Producers 


The play-producing business of the United States centers in New 
York City. The “theatrical district” is not large in area—the offices 
of nearly all the leading theatrical managers are within easy walk¬ 
ing distance of Times Square. 

The amateur dramatist who has finished, typed and copyrighted 
an original play will very likely mail it to one of these managers. 
Most theatrical firms of any prominence employ play-readers, who 
occasionally recommend promising manuscripts for production. This 
is a cautious statement, from the admitted fact that few plays in any 
given year reach production via this route. The beginning playwright 
must be prepared to face annoying delays. 

Reports on play manuscripts cannot in the nature of things be 
made as promptly as reports on manuscripts submitted to the editorial 
offices of magazines. Numerous good plays never reach production 
because they appear to lack box-office appeal. 

Failing to market his play by direct means, the dramatist may 
elect to deal with a play-broker. If so, a broker of established repu¬ 
tation should be selected. 

Or, as a next step, the as yet unplayed dramatist should watch 
the columns of the newspapers, and especially of the higher class 
periodicals devoted to the stage or to the writing craft, for announce¬ 
ments of play-reading bureaus established by managers, or of prize 
contests of various kinds, or for the immediate wants of noted actors, 
and for other opportunities afforded by the semi-professional play¬ 
houses or companies. If he feels confident that his drama is adapted 
to the needs and abilities of some particular “star,” the author may 
address the player by letter, asking permission to submit his manu¬ 
script. And wherever possible, the beginner should endeavor to 
interest in his work the manager of the local stock company*, if there 
is one. A knowledge of the kinds of plays and playlets previously 
given by the producers may be gathered by careful and persistent 
reading of the theatrical journals. 

The manuscript of a play or a vaudeville act must be typewritten. 
In typing, the name of the character above each speech, and every 
bit of “business” throughout the manuscript is underlined in red ink. 
Or, a typewriter with a two-color ribbon may be used. Bind your 
manuscript with flexible cover paper to give it a neat appearance, 
and make it easy to read, typing your name and address in full on 
the outside of the cover and on the first white page. Finally, have 
your play copyrighted. Ask the Register of Copyrights, Washington, 
D. C., for the blank form prescribed by law to copyright an unpub¬ 
lished dramatic composition. In addition to the blank you will receive 
printed instructions for filling it out. The fee is one dollar.f

Little Theatres 


The Little Theatres may perhaps offer the young playwright his 
desired chance of production. These theatres, moreover, are not con¬ 
fined to New York City, nor are they governed by commercial ideas. 
Dramas denied a hearing otherwise, novel in idea, free in form, are 
here welcomed. One-act plays predominate. Sometimes the effect is 
one of extreme realism; at other times, and aftener, of poetry and 
artistry. 

Many of the Little Theatre organizations produce but a few plays 
during the season. They are obviously not in the market for many 
plays, possibly not for any original manuscripts. Some acquaintance 
with the Little Theatre, the director, or the producing group should 
ordinarily be sought before manuscripts are sent on; and this list is 
intended as a directory of the principal Little Theatre groups operat¬ 
ing at the present time.

Musical Journals 


Manuscript needs of musical journals are almost wholly outside 
fiction or even the general article, consisting of interviews with suc¬ 
cessful people, articles on the history or teaching of music, songs, mu¬ 
sical texts for various instruments, news of the doings of musicians, 
etc. The musician who can condense and make practical what he has 
learned about his instrument, the music-teacher who can briefly 
method, are among those who may reasonably take their written wares 
to this market. 

American Organ Monthly, 26 West St., Boston, Mass. Monthly; 
75c; $4.00. Editor, Edward Shippen Barnes, 222 East 17th St., New 
York. Articles appealing to church organists or pipe organ per¬ 
formers. Each issue contains several instrumental compositions for 
the organ. 

The American Organist (formerly Organ), 467 City Hall Station, 
New York. Monthly; 20c; $2.00. Editor, T. Scott Buhrman. A

than commercial in character, so that all copy is contributed and not 
purchased. Occasionally pay for photographs of special interest to 
organists. Prompt report. Payment on acceptance.

Walter Jacobs. A publication devoted to the mandolin, banjo and 
guitar. 

Choir Herald, Dayton Ohio. Monthly; 15c; $1.25. Editor, E. S. 
Lorenz. Uses no fiction.. Easy to medium difficult anthems for church

ceptance.

acceptance.

The Dominant, 20 West 34th St., New York. Monthly; $2.00.

with a leaning toward the orchestra. Besides its regular departments 
it also publishes two selections each month from the season’s most 
popular hits. 

Etude, 1712 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, Penn. Monthly; 25c; $2.00. 
Editor, James Francis Cooke. The needs of the Etude are peculiarly 
specialized. Imagine an audience of 200,000 and more music lovers, 
students and teachers, all of them interested in the vital things in 
the music life, a great majority interested in the practical side of 
pianoforte playing and anything of a utilitarian kind that will 
enable them to play better, to play with more facility, and to take 
more pleasure and profit from practice; others interested in non- 
hackneyed aspects of musical history of wide appeal; others inter¬ 
ested in violin playing, organ playing, singing, and in getting the 
best methods of teaching the piano. In other words, the Etude is 
a utilitarian, practical musical educational magazine, looking for 
‘tell how’, material of the instructive, entertaining and inspirational 
type. It is not a musical newspaper and it does not devote any of 
its space to criticism of musical artists or abstruse musical subjects. 
It is not looking for dissertative material of the feuilleton or edi¬ 
torial type, but sensible, innately interesting, always readable stuff 
of the “work-a-day” kind, touching the active, progressive work of 
the world of music. It must be sound, lively and sensible. Reports 
in twenty days or less. Pays on publication.

Song Publishers 


The song publishers may be divided into three main classes: 
publishers of standard or high-class songs; publishers of popular 
songs; and publishers of gospel or church songs. The list here given 
makes this distinction, and leaves further classifications to the writer, 
who can wisely examine for himself the current publications of the 
firms mentioned. , 

The general statement may be made that legitimate song pub¬ 
lishers rarely consider song-poems without music, nor will they give 
consideration to “professional copies” of amateur songs accompanied 
by ground-to-order music. The song writer who is not also a melody 
writer is thus placed in a quandary, by reason of which he too 
often easily falls victim to the many schemes of the “song-shark.” 

An organized effort to fight the “song-shark” evil is being con¬ 
ducted by the Better Business Bureau of The Music Industries 
Chamber of Commerce, 105 West 40th St., New York City, working 
on behalf of the Music Publishers* Association of the United States, 
which advises: Do not send your work to a music publisher unless 
you are sure that he is a real publisher, in good standing in the busi¬ 
ness. If, unfortunately, you have already been victimized, you may 
make complaints to Mr. C. L. Dennis, Secretary of the Better Busi¬ 
ness Bureau at the address given. Do not ask him for advice on 
where to sell poems, nor send him poems to pass an opinion on. Mr. 
Dennis will send all inquirers a revealing booklet on the methods of 
“shark” music publishers. 

The majority of publishers of standard songs are willing to con¬ 
sider unsolicited manuscripts—in hope of securing something fresh 
and new, possessing merit and charm, and appealing to musically 
cultured people, but these publishers procure most of their “num¬ 
bers” from composers of known standing. 

The popular-song publisher is not so insistent upon musical 
and lyrical technique as upon “punch.” Popular-song writing and 
publishing is a business. The amateur song-writer must be prepared 
to learn the business and meet competition on its own terms. He 
should not expect to make fame and fortune from one or two song- 
poems: his watchword must be, production; and his expectation of sale 
can only lie in work that is better than the average. Occasionally, 
though rarely, the legitimate publishers will consider lyrics and bal¬ 
lads submitted without music, turning this part of the work over to 
a staff composer, if the lyric has true “catchiness.” On the whole, 
however, it is desirable for the song-writer who cannot write his own 
music to acquire a partner in a good local collaborator. Collaborators 
who advertise or solicit are dangerous, and full investigation should 
be made before your trust is put in such. A complete treatise on 
popular-song writing with full hints on proper marketing, is “Writ¬ 
ing the Popular Song,” by E. M. Wickes.* , 

The church and gospel song publishers extend a cordial welcome

Art Magazines 


As not all critics are authors—save perhaps of critical articles— 
so not all those who write acceptably for Art Publications are artists 
or craftsmen. The teacher of china-painting may have the necessary 
knowledge, experience and ability to write capably, or the college 
instructor, or indeed anyone who has made art affairs his study. But 
(reiterating the weary platitude about training) those who do so 
write must be not only well-informed regarding the general history 
and progress of art, but also specially prepared in the definite subject 
which they are treating.

Verse Markets 


This is a brief list of the principal verse markets—repeating 
some of the standard and special magazines. Nearly every publication 
uses verse occasionally—that which seems both timely and fitting—so 
that the poet may wisely use the Table of Contents of this book 
liberally when looking for places where to send manuscripts. For sell¬ 
ing sentiments in couplet or quatrain form, consult the list of Greeting 
Card publishers; for children’s poems, Juvenile Markets; and so on. 

Newspapers use verse, and are discriminating in their acceptances, 
too, though in most instances no payment is made. The Boston 
Evening Transcript, New York Herald, New York Times, Springfield, 
(Mass.) Republican, and other papers of this class, offer a chance 
to the ambitious young writer to make his name more widely known 
in a sphere of culture where publication means something. 

There has always been an overplus of poetic offerings. Such com¬ 
petition excludes insincere, imperfect and unpolished lines from con¬ 
sideration anywhere. Criticism has also directed its shafts against 
easy rhyming and sameness of meter, so that the magazine poet has 
no easy time of it. He must unite geniuneness of feeling with sure¬ 
ness of technique. To the student of the structure of verses, “The 
Art of Versification”* may be recommended as a clear and unacademic 
book. 

American Poetry Magazine, 308 Thirty-fifth St., Milwaukee, 
Wis. Every two months; 35c; $2.00. Editor, Clara Catherine Prince. 
“The organ of the American Literary Association, exclusively de¬ 
voted to poetry. Contributors must be members of the American Lit¬ 
erary Association. Serious poetic efforts of all kinds are printed in 
the magazine. Manuscripts are reported on within one month. 
Some material is used to encourage talent; much is offered gratis; 
the remainder is paid for according to merit.” 

The Atlantic Monthly, 8 Arlington St., Boston, Mass. Monthly; 
40c; $5.00. Editor, Ellery Sedgwick. Publishes two or three highly 
artistic and rather conservative poems in each issue. Often these 
are longer than the usual run of magazine poems. The main range 
includes dignified blank verse, poems, sonnets (not to her eyebrows 1) 
and unobvious nature poems. 

The Bookman, 244 Madison Ave., New York. Monthly; 40c; 
$4.00. Editor, John Farrar. Several poems in each issue, generally 
not over three or four stanzas in length, and possessing literary 
merit. Themes are not necessarily bookish. 

Breezy Stories, 709 Sixth Ave., New York. Monthly; 20c; $2.00. 
Editor, Cashel Pomeroy. Verse either light or fluffy, cynical and

contained in a representative number of Scribner’s are joyous, lyrical 
and well-conceived. Such themes as the bird on the bough, summer 
in Arcady, the little silver strip of road, are preferred over grave 
or mournful subjects. Yet all poems must conform to a high stand¬ 
ard of dignity and distinctiveness. 

The S4N, 12 Bedford Terrace, Northampton, Mass. Monthly; 
$3.00. _ Editor, Norman Fitts. The S4N is more of a club than a mag¬ 
azine in the usual sense. Each subscriber is a potential contributor 
of copy as well as critic of other S4N-ers’ copy. Poems are a fea¬ 
ture of the magazine, but not the only feature. Sketches and infor¬ 
mal essays are printed. Each subscriber votes for the contribution 
he likes most, as well as for the one he likes least, in each issue. The 
best liked wins $10. The S4N is no Utopia for widely traveled manu¬ 
scripts, but it does often use stuff unsuited to most other contempo¬ 
rary American periodicals. 

The Smart Set, 25 West 45th St., New York. Monthly 25c; $3.00. 
Editor, Morris Gilbert. A considerable number of short, sharp and 
neat poems—including vers de societe, ballads, quatrains, and all 
other forms, except blank verse—are used each month. There is a 
decided sex slant to much of this verse, but nothing coarse or crude 
is wanted. The viewpoint is urban sophistication. Free verse is not 
desired. y 

Snappy Stories, 9 East 40th St., New York. Twice a month; 
20c; $3.50. Editor, Florence Haxton. Publishes both grave and gay 
verse, principally love lyrics, and clever humorous poems not over 
forty lines in length. 

The Sonnet, Box 533, Williamsport, Penn. Every two months; 
15c; ten numbers, $2.00. Editor, Mahlon Leonard Fisher. Manu¬ 
scripts are reported on promptly, and payment is made upon ac¬ 
ceptance. A brochure devoted to nothing but sonnets. No other 
poetic or prose forms. 

Sports Afield, 542 South Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. Monthly; 
25c; $2.00. Editor, Claude King. Each issue prints three or four 
lyrical outdoor poems on such subjects as fishing, he call of the wild, 
etc. Does not pay for material except in subscriptions. 

Tempo, Danvers, Mass. Every two months; 20c; $1.00. Editor, 
Oliver Jenkins. Poetry of the highest quality. Vers libre and regu¬ 
lar verse stand equal chances of acceptance. Above all a poem must 
be vital, emotional rather than intellectual, an idea expressed forci¬ 
bly and poignantly, an idea which will pierce the soul of poet and 
layman alike. We advise every poetry-writer to see a copy of 
Tempo before submitting material. Manuscript is reported on within 
a week. No payment is made unless material is solicited. 

Voices, 110 Vernon St., Boston, Mass. Quarterly; 25c; $1.00. 
Editor, Harold Vinal. Exclusively devoted to verse, which is given a 


170

beautiful, typographical setting. Lyrics of singing quality are given 
preference over free verse. No payment for manuscripts. 

The Wave, 2316 N. Lincoln Ave., Chicago, Ill. Monthly; 25c; 
$2.50. Editor, Vincent Starrett. Reports: “Stories should not exceed 
3000 words, essays should be shorter, and poems seldom more than 
forty lines. Poems of 12 to 20 lines are preferred. The subject-matter 
is unimportant; the only tests are excellence of form and adequacy 
of treatment. The effort is to present literature of the first water, 
and ‘commercial’ material has no chance of acceptance. Manuscripts 
should be addressed to the editor’s home, as above. No photographs 
are used, but some wood-cuts and line drawings. Material is reported 
on within a week. No payment is made for accepted material. 

Young’s Magazine, 709 Sixth Ave., New York. Monthly; 20c; 
$2.00. Editor, Cashel Pomeroy. Uses some unconventional verse 
as fillers. 

y 

Youth’s Companion, 881 Commonwealth Ave., Boston, Mass. 
Weekly; 5c; $2.50. Editor, Charles Miner Thompson. Uses a variety 
of verse on all outdoor and indoor “family” themes, but these poems 
must be genuine in matter, as well as truly musical in treatment. 
For the children’s department, little verses to speak are required— 
but not the obivious stanzas of old about the birds and the flowers. In 
all poems for this magazine joyousness and helpfulness should be 
stressed. 


Class and Trade Publications 


Writing for class and trade publications is almost wholly a mat¬ 
ter of knowing the field and being industrious in tillage. These pub¬ 
lications are chiefly purveyors of local or country-wide trade news in¬ 
cluding not only articles about prominent men, ideas that make for 
business, inventions, etc., but also reports of new corporations, price 
statistics, and the like. Much of the latter material is supplied and 
written by the editor, his assistants and paid correspondents. Some 
papers use nothing else. Yet the majority of trade periodicals will 
gladly consider for publication articles written from the trade journal 
point of view. 

In a recent letter, the editor of a prominent trade journal put 
the matter concretely; as follows: “We do not care to receive mate¬ 
rial of a general nature, and we are sorry that most of the material 
we do receive is of a general nature. Amateur writers—on home 
furnishing topics, for example—do not comprehend that what pleases 
a home owner is not what will interest a professional home decorator. 
Frankly, in the matter of material, we accept very little. It is not 
because we don’t want to accept more, but because very little of an 
acceptable standard reaches us. Many writers for trade magazines do 
not seem to realize that there is a vast difference between, general 
information and exact information, and that exact information is 
what the ideal trade magazine lives and thrives on.” 

The field of writing for trade papers is a big one. There are 
many more magazines of this class than any other. But the editors 
of trade journals are able men, who know intimately every phase 
of the business to which they minister. It will not do to send them 
articles that will not stand the closest investigation of their main 
facts. 

Each trade has writers that are well known to the respective 
editors ; as being dependable. A few writers are very profitably 
spreading their writings over several trades. The young writer may 
do as well if he will only take the pains to learn the business, so to 
speak, of such writing. 

Style, in the literary sense, does not enter in; a generous handful 
of practical and definite knowledge or helpfulness, put in the most 
common-sense and understandable way, will in manuscript form often 
be accepted by the first of the class journals to which it goes, and 
moreover, the information may be worked over again and again, for 
this paper, and for that, by looking at the matter from various angles 
and making proper revisions and adaptations. 

Obviously a man who has lived on a small island all his life 
would not be naturally fitted to tell how an engineer polishes his en¬ 
gine. It is not necessary, however, that the writer should be an 
engineer. He may have gained the requisite information, by talking 
with a long-time railway man, or his father or some relative may be 
in this field of labor. At all events, he should draw his material 


%72 


WHERE AND HOW TO SELL MANUSCRIPTS 


from some fund of actual experience, and supplement this, if at all, 
very rarely with encyclopedic knowledge. 

The writer desirous of writing for trade periodicals should utilize 
and capitalize all his opportunities. How many these are is not ap¬ 
preciated by the average person. One may have certain hobbies or 
interests in life; or be fortunate enough to have had special training 
in a mechanical laboratory or a machine shop; or former occupations 
may afford specific information; or a large number of acquaintances 
may yield a wide variety of usable knowledge. 

Just what sort of material the trade magazines require will, of 
course, best be seen by a careful study of their pages, and such study 
is essential. These journals may be seen in nearly all public libraries, 
or if not to be found there, the writer may possibly consult a ma¬ 
chine-shop journal in one of the local machine shops, or a technical 
automobile weekly in one of the garages, a hair-cutter’s journal in 
a barber shop, etc. If still not to be found, a sample copy of any 
magazine will usually be sent upon application to the editor, if the 
copy price in postage stamps is enclosed. 

Writers should not expect replies from trade journals as prompt¬ 
ly as from fiction magazines, for the reason that all real trade journal 
editors spend about one-third of their time on the road keeping in 
touch with trade conditions, and therefore manuscripts often accumu¬ 
late on their desks until their return. They also have hundreds of 
letters to write to dealers weekly, giving them advice and counsel, 
and they write virtually all the circulation matter which goes forth 
from their offices. It will be seen, therefore, that they have less time 
to devote to writing to authors than have editors of general or fiction 
magazines. 

Some years ago, in a small town in Pennsylvania, the fattest of 
all American boys died. A special casket was required to bury him. 
The news story of his funeral, with photographs, was easily sold to 
one of the undertaking journals. (By the way, in a revised form, 
this article was also marketed with a newspaper syndicate.) 

Other examples may be afforded in reporting the first day’s 
operation of a new and gigantic cement mill; or the unique way of 
handling the output of a certain coal deposit. 

Unlike the slow and uncertain headway one makes with the 
standard magazines, this market offers both rapidity and certainty 
for the man who has the message. It is not to be inferred, however, 
that the market opens so wide that it can be hit with equal success 
anywhere, or that it is lucrative other than in the aggregate. Good 
advice is to make a business proposition of it or not at all; and go 
fishing often in the pools that give results. 

Many of these periodicals, the house organs especially, are in¬ 
terested in suitable photographs; some magazines will accept build¬ 
ing plans, factory or city layouts which an architect or an engineer 
may prepare; and others will be glad of sketches or blue prints to 
reproduce. 

Some of the class periodicals, and notably among them the 
secret society journals, house organs, and historical quarterlies, re¬ 
ceive much material that is offered without expectation of compensa¬ 
tion, so that if remuneration is expected for an article submitted to 
such papers, it is advisable to mention that fact.

East 25th Street, New York. Weekly; 5c; $1.00. Editor, Frank 
LeRoy Blanchard. 

Advertising and Selling, 5941 Grand Central Terminal Bldg., 
New York. Monthly; 25c; $3.00. Managing Editor, Ernest Eberhard. 
This magazine is read by advertising managers and men in adver¬ 
tising agencies. Every article should be written to appeal to these 
men, the material being of such a nature as to be of value to these 
men in their daily work. All articles should be kept as short and 
concise as possible. They may be illustrated with photographs or ad¬ 
vertisements. Contributors can perhaps best meet their needs by 
sending short articles for their department “The Idea Shop.” These 
articles may be about some unusual selling angle of a retailer, an 
exceptionally good piece of advertising matter, or anything else con¬ 
taining an idea of value to advertising men. In writing up these 
ideas, it should be remembered that they must appeal to advertising 
managers and agency men. Therefore, every article should be writ¬ 
ten from the viewpoint of these men. Want ideas that can be used 
by a national advertiser for all his dealers, not an idea that can be 
used by only one retailer. Use photographs to illustrate articles. 
Material reported on in two weeks, and payment on publication, ex¬ 
cept for contributions to the Idea Shop.

Editor, John Irving Romer. Reports: “Our articles are of a very 
specific nature on subjects intimately related with widespread adver¬ 
tising and selling. We rarely use retail stories—only when they 
have facts of significance to national manufacturers. Articles are 
usually written by business executives out of their own experiences.

Editor, Raymond Olney. Reports: “We desire especially personal 
interviews with dealers, or articles based on personal interviews. 
Such material must be very specific and deal with those things which 
will be of practical assistance to other dealers. We are interested 
only in power-farming dealers; that is, dealers who sell and give 
service on power-farming equipment, such as tractors, motor trucks, 
cultivators, farm lighting plants, and all kinds of farm motor im¬ 
plements and machines operated by mechanical power. We can use 
stories giving a complete account of the dealer’s mechandising and 
service methods, up to 3000 words in length, or we can use short 
articles dealing with the specific plans of giving service, adver¬ 
tising, and other mechandising features of business. Contributors, 
in submitting material of this nature, should also include blank form 
used by the dealer and the dealer’s letter-head. We prefer to have 
articles well illustrated with portrait photographs of the dealer him¬ 
self; views of interior and exterior of dealer’s place of business; also, 
pictures of other dealer’s activities. Manuscripts usually reported on

thorized by the owners; news of all kinds regarding the progress and 
development of the motor truck and allied industries and of the 
individual concerns of which they are composed. There is no limit to 
length; the test is quality of material, its interest and permanent 
value, and style. None of the light, superficial type of journalism 
as common in news and trade papers will be considered. The standards 
are very high and are strictly observed. Photographs are used only 
when necessary to illustrate the article. Those submitted should be 
of a quality on a par with the manuscript and will be judged solely 
by the standards of interest, value and suitability. Manuscripts are 
reported on within the month following receipt. Payment is made 
shortly after publication.”

dealers and distributors of automobiles, motor trucks, tires, and 
accessories. Reports: “Material desired from contributors includes 
news of interest to the trade; articles describing the business methods 
of unusually aggressive dealers whether located in cities or in cross¬ 
roads towns—dealers, for instance, who are especially progressive 
in advertising, in handling their service departments or parts de¬ 
partments, in selling used cars, in handling sales, in building business 
on tires and accessories, etc. Photographs or other material for il¬ 
lustrating contributions should always accompany articles describing 
certain dealers and their methods. Also, photographs alone, when 
showing especially attractive automobile salesrooms, exteriors, tire 
or accessory display fixtures or window displays of tires or accessories, 
are desired. Contributions are passed upon within a few days after 
they are received and payment is made immediately following publi¬ 
cation. Space rates vary in accodinance with actual value of ma¬ 
terial received—but are liberal enough to interest the best con¬ 
tributors.” 

Tires, 373 Fourth Ave., New York. Monthly; 20c; $2.00.Editor, 
Jerome T. Shaw. Reports: “We are always in the market for mer¬ 
chandising articles applying directly to the tire business and not to 
the automotive trade at large. We are particularly anxious to get 
articles describing the business methods of successful dealers. Sales 
articles based on the theory are not desired. We want descriptions of 
interesting window displays, advertising campaigns, etc., but the 
writers are cautioned against preparing articles on systems that 
have been established by the tire manufacturers. We get them 
direct from the factories. Articles of about 1200 words conform 
best to our editorial make-up. We wish portraits of live dealers; 
also photographs of samples of sales and stock-keeping forms. Ma¬ 
terial is reported on within a week; and payment is made on publica¬ 
tion. The rate is half a cent a word for text; $1 for photographs.” 

Tire Trade Journal, 225 Fourth Ave., New York. Monthly; 20c; 
$2.00. Managing Editor, G. Haines Trimingham. Reports: “We 
use articles of from 1200 to 3000 words on the manufacture, advertis¬ 
ing and sale of tires and tubes. In order to stand any chance of 
acceptance, stories must deal with some new phase of the trade—or 
an old phase treated in a novel way. We do not want to know what 
a certain tire dealer is doing to sell his tires unless other dealers 


AUTOMOBILE AND GAS ENGINE JOURNALS 


191 


could successfully apply his methods. Material is reported on in 
fourteen days, and payment is made after publication.”

Monthly; $1.00. Editor, Arthur E. Wetch. 

Tractor and Gas Engine Review, Madison, Wis. Monthly; 10c; 
$1.00. Editors, B. B. Clark, V. V. Detwiler. Reports: “We use ar¬ 
ticles of from 300 to 1500 words in length, and prefer getting pictures 
with them. We want copy that will help farmers owning tractors to 
operate, overhaul, and repair these machines as economically as pos¬ 
sible, both in time and money. Articles telling of profits made by 
doing custom work with tractors or gas engines are desired; sawing 
wood, filling silos, cutting ice, grading roads, and threshing grain are 
some examples. While we seldom run material that makes a direct 
contract between horse and tractor work, occasionally we buy stories 
of tractor farmers who have achieved outstanding success by 
tractorizing their farms. These stories should give definite names, 
cost figures, methods and results. We cannot use articles with advice 
of so general a nature that they could have been written in our office. 
We use glossy finish photographs. Material is reported on within two 
weeks, and payment is made on acceptance.”

periences of bakers, in securing better business, plans that have proved 
useful for bakers, suggestions that have promise of developing in¬ 
creased business for bakers, devices for selling bakery goods, unique 
advertising for bakers, economical arrangement of bakery plants, 
money-saving devices or plans for bakers, time-saving suggestions, 
etc.—all these will be considered. In regard to length, we prefer 
articles of less than 1400 words, though articles of exceptional tech¬ 
nical value, of course, may run longer. The style should be the

per cent of the men we wish to help have had but few educational 
advantages—many of them have come from other lands, and have had 
no schooling in English. We strongly recommend anyone who thinks 
of writing for bakers, to visit bakeries frequently, to become acquainted 
with actual needs, present practices, etc. Things that strike the 
average outsider as new and of special interest are often found to 
be ‘old stuff’ to bakers, who have no interest in reading about them. 
Can use photographs of devices or events that promise to be help¬ 
ful to bakers, but we suggest that we be consulted before photographs 
are sent, as from a description we may judge whether we wish them or 
not. Manuscripts are reported on usually within a week after 
receipt. Payment is made on the 10th of the month after acceptance. 
Rates are governed by the character of articles and standing of 
the writer in the baking industry. Our payments run from $5.00 to 
$15.00 for page of 1400 words; shorter articles in proportion.”

authors of many of the articles. Stories by big men will appear when 
the big man has had a real hand in the undertaking. There will be 
constant and consistent effort to locate and define the “reason why” 
behind success in particular fields, and thereby make more clear some 
of the principles which are controlling factors in business.

Commercial News, 527 Commercial Street, San Francisco, Calif.

Commercial Traveler’s Magazine, Springfield, Mass. Quarterly;

by the staff and regular contributors. Uses short stories of approxi¬ 
mately 2500 words on any worthy theme, and such as would be liked 
by traveling men. These should be dramatic, and need not be “tales of

Distribution and Warehousing, 239 West 39th St., New York. 
Monthly; 20c; $2.00. Editor, Kent B. Stiles. Reports: “We can use 
articles running as high as several thousand words if timeliness and 
news value warrant that length. We are also interested in problems 
of sales and traffic managers of manufacturing companies as such 
problems relate directly to the use of the public merchandise ware¬ 
house in moving goods from factory to retailer and wholesaler. 
Writers should keep in mind that a manufacturer’s own branch ware¬ 
house is not in any sense a public warehouse, but is a private store¬ 
house only, for that shipper’s goods alone. A public warehouseman 
is one who sells his space and Its service to the shippers; for pay, he 
cares for stocks of the shipper’s goods, making less than carload 
deliveries by rail or motor truck from the warehouse at the shipper’s 
directions, and charges both for space and for services rendered. We 
want problems of the public warehouseman (handling shipper’s prod- 


200

ucts) and of the household goods warehouseman (who stores house¬ 
hold effects, furniture, pianos, etc., for the public generally.) Such 
problems relate to forms used, cost accounting, receipts, labor and 
time saving machinery, legislation, new buildings, transportation, 
freight rates, motor truck equipment,, etc. Illustrations desirable. We 
pay $2 each for those accepted. Manuscripts are reported on in one 
hour to two days as the maximum, and payment is made on the 15th 
day of the month of publication. Space rate runs 35 cents an inch, 
about $10 a page; sometimes pay more for especially valuable and 
timely articles and news.” 

Dun’s International Review, 290 Broadway, New York. Monthly; 
35c; $4.00. Editor, Edward Naville Vose. Reports: “We could con¬ 
sider articles from 2000 to 3000 words, and from 300 to 1000 words, on 
any phase of American progress and development, engineering, agri¬ 
culture, invention or the development of practical utilities. Such ar¬ 
ticles must be general in scope and free from all suspicion of being 
write-ups or puffs for any manufacturer.” 

All articles to be written from the standpoint of interest to foreign 
readers as the circulation of Dun’s International Review is exclusively 
abroad and is a magazine designed to give merchants and business 
men in other countries accurate and up-to-date information regarding 
progress in the United States. Photographs should invariably be ac¬ 
companied with the manuscript, or the author should indicate where 
illustrations can be secured. Manuscripts are reported on at once, and

Carl H. Greene. Circulation is entirely overseas among business men. 
The character of editorial matter relates entirely to promoting the ex¬ 
port of American products, description of American products, descrip¬ 
tion of American industries, merchandising methods, finances and com¬ 
merce. Articles submitted should be prepared with thought of the 
foreign reader’s view-point. Boastfulness and “making the eagle 
scream” are barred. Contributions are paid for according to their 
merit, check usually going forward on publication, which is approxi¬ 
mately two months after receipt of article. Not one article out of a 
hundred submitted is suited for Export, owing to the particular field 
it covers. 

Export Bulletin, 34th Street, below Spruce, Philadelphia, Penn. 
Weekly; $5.00. 

Export Trade, 280 Broadway, New York. Weekly; 10c; $3.00. 
Editor, Clarence J. North. Reports: “We desire articles of approxi¬ 
mately 2000 words on specific phases of exporting such as advertising 
abroad, circularizing, price quotations, packing, financing and the like. 
The manner in which definite firms have built up their foreign busi¬

this country, we want to give him definite suggestions by which he 
can build up his foreign business or increase his foreign sales. Gener¬ 
alities should be avoided. Manuscripts are reported on in ten days.

Exporters* and Importers’ Journal, 17 State St., New York.

products in all foreign countries and to caring for the interests of im¬ 
porters of American goods abroad, likewise to the introduction of 
foreign products in the U. S. A. We purchase special magazine arti¬ 
cles pertaining to general subjects, of manufacture or product, or re¬ 
lating to export and import trade; also biographical sketches of Gov¬ 
ernment officials interested in extending reciprocal trade of this coun¬ 
try with foreign markets and of leading manufacturers, inventors or 
producers responsible for some particular line and interesting to our 
home and foreign readers. Manuscripts are reported on at once, and 
payment is made on acceptance.” 

Factory—The Magazine of Management, Cass, Huron and Erie 
Streets, Chicago, Ill. Twice a month; 25c; $5.00. The point of view 
of Factory is that of the executive and his sub-managers. The maga¬ 
zine deals with the internal problems of a manufacturing business in 
the construction of a plant. Involved, of course, are factory mainten¬ 
ance, power, heat, light, ventilation, transportation methods, stock- 
keeping, wage payment methods, and cost finding. It is easy to see 
that suitable articles can only be written by men actually in touch 
with manufacturing conditions—and the co-operation of these men is 
sought. 

In other words, the magazine is a clearing house for ideas between 
men in charge of manufacturing plants in different parts of the coun¬ 
try, so that many may have the benefit of their experience. 

Items of 150 to 500 words are required for the departments. There 
are numerous stock needs, for better knowledge of which consult sev¬ 
eral copies of the magazine. 

The Department Editor makes these recommendations: “When¬ 
ever possible send illustrations. Photographs are paid for extra. 
They not only make the article clearer, but more interesting. If forms 
or report blanks are used, a set filled out often makes the articles 
easier to understand. Put yours in your own shop language. The 
editors will look after slips in language. Items are more interesting 
if they can be connected with some plant. If this is not possible, we 
can omit the reference.” Prompt consideration of manuscripts, and 
payment on acceptance.

Ill. Monthly; 20c; $2.00. Editor, T. B. Keator. 

The Farm Loan Monthly, Ashville, New York. Monthly; 10c; 
$1.00. Editor, Earl W. Gage. Reports: “In view of the fact that we 
are the only authority on farm finance and rural credits in the country, 
it is essential that articles be from those in a position to speak with 
authority. It is very doubtful if those outside the present Federal 
Farm Loan system, of which this is the monthly, could submit any-

Business opportunities. 

System, Cass, Huron and Erie Sts., Chicago, Ill. Monthly; 25c; 
$3.00. Editor, A. W. Shaw; Managing Editor, Neil M. Clark. Re¬ 
ports: “System uses articles varying in length from 50 to 5000 or 
6000 words. We aim to give our readers—for the most part men in 
executive positions, men who think in terms of profit rather than of 
salaries—tested plans and methods which have increased profits for 
the concerns which have used them, and which will supposedly in¬ 
crease profits for our business men readers. The only exceptions to 
thse fundamental requirements are in the fiction that we use and in 
the ‘What I Would Do’ department. Our business fiction must deal 
with men in the executive positions of business, and in situations which 
come up with some regularity in most businesses. We eliminate the 
love interest altogether, and insist that the theme of the story be a 
big, broad fundamental principle of business. In the ‘What I Would 
Do’ department, we publish suggestions—from people who are not in 
the line of business—as to what they would do if they were in it. 
These plans must never have been tried out in that particular line of 
work. If they have been, they make good items for some of our fact 
departments. Manuscripts are reported on in two weeks. Payment 
is made on acceptance.”

for articles of a technical or semi-technical nature, on the production 
end of the oil industry. Marketing and refining, which includes filling 
stations, is not within scope. We do not want newspaper clippings, 
or notices of officers elected in, or dividends paid by, oil companies. 
This magazine is devoted exclusively to the problems of the man or 
group of men who prospect for, or drill, oil wells. We would be in¬ 
terested in fact articles of wells drilled or brought in, or shut-in, 
under unusual difficulties; oil well fires, how they caught fire and how 
extinguished; unusually bad fishing jobs, and articles on many other 
subjects. All articles must be accompanied by glossy photographs or 
other suitable illustrations. Where one or more persons figure in an 
article, we want names and connections, as driller, engineer, field 
superintendent, or whatever it is. Where persons appear on photo¬ 
graphs, and we want this almost without exception, names must be 
given in order so that we can identify each person. One requisite to 
get editorial consideration from us is that copy must be clean, and on 
a good grade of white paper. Some writers, or would-be writers, 
seem to think that anything goes with a technical paper. Manuscripts 
have to be read on a technical paper as well as any other, and the 
editor of Oil Field Engineering will not attempt to decipher poor 
copy.” Published at 415 Pioneer St., Cincinnati, Ohio.

and women who do a big business and want to do more. The work¬

store or specialty shop, and interest is central on merchandising 
methods. Hence, new or successful selling events are of much im¬

ful millinery departments are wanted. Payment on publication.

play, store management, advertising training in salesmanship, ac¬

pages of advice to dealers in general. Payment is made on publi¬ 
cation at $1.50 for a 200-word item. Items should preferably be

etc. These must have a distinct radio angle and be suitable for 85 
line screen reproduction. Our Radio Kinks department pays for all 
accepted ‘How to Make’ articles. We have numerous correspondents 
in various parts of the United States and Canada but are always keen 
for a ‘scoop’ from out of the way places as well as the large cities; 
and we pay a bonus in addition to the regular space rate for stories 
or articles printed as a first page lead. Writers who can deliver 
manuscripts suitable to our requirements from Mexico, Alaska, Central 
America and other countries may find the Digest well worth while. 
Payment is made promptly on publication but as we are publishing a 
newspaper of ‘live’ and fresh news this amounts to practically the 
same thing as paying on acceptance. Accepted copy is set and on the 
press before the Editor has time to write the correspondent. We

magazine is devoted to the practical interests of contractors, engi¬ 
neers, architects, and concrete products manufacturers. It is not in¬ 
terested in general information on the subject of concrete. It is in¬ 
terested in particular information which may be put to use by prac¬ 
tical men doing concrete work. The chief fault which we have to 
find with contributions which come to us from general correspondents 
is that they tell that a certain thing has been constructed or that a 
certain work has been done, but they tell nothing about how it was 
done and why such methods were followed, and the results gained by 
these methods. We are interested in methods, not in finished work 
except in a casual way in connection with the methods that produce 
the finished work. In other words, we want “how” and “why” infor¬ 
mation. In general, we report on manuscripts within a week. We 
sometimes hold them up in an effort to get more detailed information 
from the original source, but in such a case we usually take the mat¬ 
ter up with the contributor.”

orders may have the proper address to send communications which will 
be of interest and value to their fraternity brothers.

have actually used and found successful. We can use a lot of such 
stories, but we like them boiled down to the hone and illustrated with 
phonographs wherever possible. Human interest and personality arti¬ 
cles can run up to 1500 or 2000 words. This type of article can tell 
the story of an unusual store or an unusual man, but it should be 
handled to bring out their human interest features. And it should be 
illustrated with photographs. Most trade papers are dry as dust. We 
want some real humor in these magazines. Individual photographs 
of unusual ways of displaying merchandise; unique homemade racks; 
stands or cases that merchants are using; window displays that con¬ 
tain a concrete idea that others may use—not merely attractive dis¬ 
plays; odd delivery trucks; unconventional and interesting pictures of 
grocers taken in their homes, their gardens—in short, away from 
their business. We are looking also for layouts, in which we can use 
several photographs, of unusual store names; of unique welcoming 
signs in various towns; and of other subjects where a variety of 
phonographs can be used. All material bought is paid for promptly on

etc., is covered by our regular correspondents. If you have a Hair

but having no vital relation to his daily problems. We urge you to 
study the Journal. Well send copies to interested writers. We’re a 
Saturday Evening Post size magazine with colored covers, illustrated 
in wash and line and maintain a high quality standard. We pay on 
publication at rates varying with the worth of the material. We

House Organs 

“Writing for a house organ is rather difficult because the appeal 
of such a publication is nearly always to a particular class of people 
rather than to a general group, and it is hard for a writer out of touch 
with this field to get a good grip on what is needed. Outside of one 
or two men who write, draw and send pictures regularly, house organ, 
editors get few contributions that are usable—but it might be added 
that very few manuscripts are submitted unsolicited. 

“Writers generally could not make a success of writing for house 
organs unless they would do what they are advised to do as general 
publication writers—send for specimen copies and make a study of 
the purpose of the publication. Out of the extensive and growing list 
of house organs now published in the United States, it ought to be 
possible for a writer to find four or five dealing with fields with which 
he is somewhat familiar. These afford the best chance. Even with 
something like twenty years’ experience in writing, I would not at¬ 
tempt contributions for an electrical house organ, because that field 
is too unfamiliar to me. 

“I might add that a great many house organ editors are keen for 
material illustrating good merchandising practices, which includes 
good storekeeping and many other phases of selling effort.” 

Thus writes S. Roland Hall, house organ editor, author of “Writ¬ 
ing an Advertisement,”* and other books. Perhaps all that can be 
added to this statement is that house organs are far more iprema- 
nent than general magazines, and the accuracy of the list hereafter 
printed cannot be guaranteed. 

An excellent book on the house organ and its variations, its edit¬ 
ing, etc., is “Effective House Organs.”f 

Following the detailed information, an alphabetical list is given, 
arranged under the names of the companies publishing the journals.

20c; $1.50. Editor, Francis R. Bentley. Reports: “Our manuscript 
requirement may be summed up in the single phrase ‘Facts and Ideas.’ 
Accuracy is essential; we want no business ‘fairy tales.’ Long 
winded generalizations upon salesmanship, advertising or anything 
else of the kind do not interest us. But a brightly written story of 
business success that gets beneath the surface, is told with no waste 
words, and brings out the ‘why’ of such success—the policies adopted, 
some of the actual plans used and how they were carried out, with 
an interesting over-the-counter incident or two, perhaps, by way of 
illustration—will always win careful consideration. A description of 
an unusual or an unusually attractive window display, preferably with 
a good, clear photograph, is always welcome. There is no fixed length, 
but 1000 to 1500 words is preferred. Material is reported on prompt-

Labor and Trades Unions Journals 

Very many of these periodicals will not offer the general con¬ 
tributor, even though a laboring man of the same brotherhood, a mar¬ 
ket—unless on a gratis basis. Nearly all will be glad to receive news 
items and interesting short articles if earnest and forceful communi¬ 
cations on the subject of labor solidarity and social and material better¬ 
ment. In fact, it is more or less the duty of the able member of such 
organizations to support them by voice and pen, and thus help the 
cause along.

“This is a technical publication devoted to the interest of those men

buildings and water stations. Contributed articles to be of any value 
to us must tell how to do and what to do and be written by men who 
are or have been directly engaged in the character of work which 
they endeavor to describe. Experience in the past has shown that 
articles sent to us by men who are ‘writers.’ rather than railway main¬

ment and its widely varied activities. We make no suggestions 
about the length of articles since so much depends upon the nature 
of the subject which is being discussed. As a matter of fact, most 
of our material is prepared by our own editorial staff. The rates 
of pay are based upon the value of the manuscript rather than upon 
its length, and probably average about a cent a word. Articles are

Book Publishers 


Book publishers, as a whole, may be divided into those who pub¬ 
lish a general list and those who publish a tecnhical list. The needs 
of these classes show a sharp division, although a few publishers 
buy both kinds of manuscripts. Any book publisher will be glad to 
supply his catalogue of publications upon demand, and from this 
catalogue the range can be seen. 

Book manuscripts may best be sent by express fully prepaid— 
not by parcel post. If sent by mail at all, stamps to the amount of 
first class postage must be affixed. They should be packed flat and 
the pages numbered, not by chapters, but consecutively throughout. 
Neither too thin nor too thick paper should be used, and it is of the 
utmost importance that the typing should be neat and uncrowded. 
Use double space in typing. A carbon copy should invariably be 
kept. In the letter accompanying the manuscript the editor may be 
asked in case of rejection to return the manuscript by express, 
charges collect. Book manuscripts should not be sent insufficiently 
wrapped, poorly typed, and absolutely never with a letter under 
separate inclosure. 

Contracts with book publishers are of many kinds, from an out¬ 
right purchase to a part royalty or complete royalty basis. In some 
instances the author bears partly or entirely cost of publication. Such 
a contract should be entered into, however, only advisedly and with 
caution, as it nearly always results in financial loss to the author.

British Periodicals 


The writer who has received the wide approval of British maga¬ 
zines is almost certain of a welcome here, and some American authors 
have taken this unusual and roundabout entrance to their home field. 
Mr. Robert Frost, the poet, may be mentioned as an outstanding in¬ 
stance. He had the advantage of living in England at the time. 

Necessarily, in submitting manuscripts abroad, one should dis¬ 
criminate against violently American material; although the British 
editors and public are exceedingly cordial to things American and 
Canadian. In most cases, a pronouncedly literary treatment is desir¬ 
able. Many of the magazines prefer short-stories that have atmos¬ 
phere and charm; a few of the all-story magazines desire fiction that 
is all action. Foreign editors insist that manuscript pages should be 
fastened together with a clip. In all cases return postage, not in 
American, but in foreign stamps, should be included in the letter sub¬ 
mitting the manuscript. In the United States, such postage stamps, 
or a return remittance order, can be obtained at United States post 
offices.

acts of which the following is a digest (dots signifying omitted mat¬ 
ter) provide:

That any person entitled thereto (see Section VIII) shall have the 
exclusive right to print, reprint, publish, copy, vend the copyrighted 
work; to translate, dramatize, arrange, adapt; to deliver lectures, 
sermons, etc.; to represent dramatic work, to make records or exhibit 
or perform; to perform music, make arrangement or record, as the 
case may be, of: 

Section IV 

(a) Books, including directories and compilations; 

(b) Periodicals; 

(c) Lectures, sermons, prepared for oral delivery; 

(d) Dramatic compositions; 

(e) Musical compositions; 

(f) Maps;

(k) Prints and pictorial illustrations; 

(l) Motion-picture photoplays; 

(m) Motion pictures other than photoplays; 

to one of which classes the author or maker must assign his work 
when applying for copyright. 


Section VI 

t Compilations, abridgments, translations, new editions, dramatiza¬ 
tions shall be regarded as new works subject to copyright when pro¬ 
duced with the consent of the original copyright owner; but the pub¬ 
lication of any such compilation, abridgment, etc., shall not affect the 
validity of the previous copyright.

trators and assigns; provided, however, that the copyright secured by 
this Act shall extend to the work of a foreign author or proprietor 
only when the alien author or proprietor shall be domiciled within the 
United States at the time of the first publication of his work, or when 
a citizen of a foreign nation that has granted reciprocal rights. 

The existence of reciprocal relations shall be proclaimed by the 
President of the United States from time to time; provided, however, 
that all works first produced or published abroad after August 1, 

1914.of which the authors or proprietors are citizens of a 

foreign state (granting the United States reciprocal rights) shall 
be entitled to the protection conferred by the copyright laws of the 
United States from and after the accomplishment, before the expira¬ 
tion of fifteen months after the date of the President’s proclamation 
of peace, of the conditions and formalities prescribed with respect to 
uch works by the copyright laws of the United States; Provided, 
further, That nothing herein contained shall be construed to deprive 
any person of any right which he may have acquired by the republica¬ 
tion of such foreign work in the United States prior to the approval 
of this Act.* 


Sections IX-XXXIII 

Steps Necessary to Secure Copyright Registration 

1. Publish the work with the copyright notice. The notice may be 

in the form “COPYRIGHT, 19- (year date of publication) by 

- (name of copyright proprietor).” 

The name of the copyright proprietor given in the notice should be 
the true, legal name of the person, firm, or corporation owning the 
copyright, and no other. The use of a fictitious or assumed name, or 
the name of any person other than the copyright proprietor, may re¬ 
sult in the loss of the copyright protection. The date in the copyright 
notice should agree with the year date of publication. 

•Amendment of Dec. 18, 1919. The reciprocal protection required under the 
provisions of the above Act was secured to authors of the United States by the 
British Order in Council of February 9, 1920, for all books issued in the United 
States after August 1, 1924, which had failed to secure protection in Great Britain. 
This retrospective protection is obtainable in Great Britain and her colonies and 
possessions, with the exception of the British self-governing dominions—Canada, 
Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Newfoundland. A proclamation by the 
President (required to determine such reciprocal protection) was issued on April 
10, 1920. A proclamation was issued under the above Act in regard to Denmark, 
on December 9, 1920. 

Copyright relations have been established and are in force between the United 
States and the following countries, and the citizens of such countries can secure copy¬ 
right protection in the United States upon compliance with the requirements of the 
Copyright Acts of the United States: Austria, Belgium, Chile, China, Costa Rica, 
Cuba, Denmark, France, Germany, the British Empire, Guatemala, Honduras, 
Hungary, Italy, Japan, Luxemburg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, Norway, 
Portugal, Salvador, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Tunis. 

Several bills have been introduced in Congress to make it possible for the United 
States to join the International Copyright Union under the Berne Convention, but 
none has yet [March 5, 1923] been enacted into law.

WHERE AND HOW TO SELL MANUSCRIPTS 


2. Promptly after publication, send to the Copyright Office two 
copies of the best edition of the work, with an application for registra¬ 
tion and a money order payable to the Register of Copyrights for the 
statutory registration fee of $1. As to special registration of Photo¬ 
graphs, see below.. In the case 

of Books the copies deposited must be accompanied by an affidavit, 
under the official seal of an officer authorized to administer oaths, 
stating that the type-setting, printing, and binding of the book have 
been performed within the United States. Affidavit and application 

forms will be supplied by the Copyright Office on request. 

This affidavit is not required in the case of a book of foreign origin in 
a language or languages other than English, nor in the case of a 
printed play in any language, as such works are not required to be 

manufactured in the United States. 

In the case of contributions to periodicals, send one complete copy of 
the periodical containing the contribution with application and fee. 

No affidavit is required. 

Only one copy is required to be deposited in the case of a work by an 
author who is a citizen or subject of a foreign state or nation and 
that has been published in a foreign country. 

For Works Not Reproduced in Copies For Sale 

Copyright may also be had of certain classes of works (see a, b, c, 
etc., below) of which copies are not reproduced for sale, by filing 
in this office an application for registration with the statutory fee of 
$1, sending therewith: 

(a) In the case of lectures or other oral addresses, or of dramatic 
or musical compositions, one complete manuscript or type¬ 
written copy of the work. 

(b) In the case of photographs not intended for general circula¬

tion, with one print taken from each scene or act. 

(e) In the case of motion pictures other than photoplays, a title 

and description, with not less than two prints taken from 
different sections of a complete motion picture. 

In the case of each of the works here noted, not reproduced in copies 
for sale, the law expressly requires that a second deposit of printed 
copies for registration and the payment of a second fee must be made 
upon publication. 

Section XXI * 

In the case of a book first published abroad in the English lan¬ 
guage on or after the date of the President’s proclamation of peace,

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 

Under the copyright law now in force, the first step to take in a 
work intended to be published is to print and publish the work with 
the statutory notice of copyright claim inscribed. 

Promptly after such publication with copyright notice has been 
made, in order to register the copyright claim, send two complete 
copies of the best edition to the Copyright Office, with application and 
the registration fee (money order for $1). 

Manuscripts of novels or other prose works, poems, words of a 
song, etc., or any works legally designated a “book,” should not be sent 
to this office before they have been printed and published, as the law 
does not permit registration of such unpublished works. Such manu¬ 
scripts are protected under the common law, and nobody has a right 
to use them without the consent of the owner. 

The Copyright Act expressly provides, “That nothing in this Act 
shall be construed to annul or limit the right of the author or pro¬ 
prietor of an unpublished work, at common law or in equity, to pre¬ 
vent the copying, publication, or use of such unpublished work without 
his consent, and to obtain damages therefor.”

No forms are issued by the Copyright Office for assignments, or 
licenses, nor for Postmaster’s receipts or articles deposited, nor postal 
franking labels. 

An American author, to obtain copyright in England, must first 
publish in England, or in England and the United States simultane¬ 
ously. 

Mail matter is frequently received at the Copyright Office with the 
wrapper so badly torn that the inclosures are in danger of being lost; 
and reported failures to receive articles mailed may sometimes be 
explained on the ground of the flimsy and insufficient wrapping. To 
guard against such loss the use of stout paper and twine in wrapping 
mail matter destined for the Copyright Office is urged. 

1. Address plainly all mail or express matter Register of Copy¬ 
rights, Library of Congress, Washington, D. C. 

2. Add on outside of parcel the name and address of sender. 
(Please caution Postmaster not to cover this with his frank label.) 

3. Mail the copies, application and fee all at the same time, though 
not necessarily in the same package. These must all be at hand be- ? 
fore action may be taken. The copies of works sent to be registered ; 
for copyright may be mailed to the Copyright Office free (under Section 
14 of the copyright law) if directly delivered for that purpose to the 
Postmaster. The Copyright Office cannot furnish any franking labels. 1 

SPECIAL CAUTION. According to the ruling of the Postoffice 
Department the money order (or other remittance) is not entitled to 
free postal transmission. This with the application, therefore should 
be forwarded separately by mail, under letter postage, addressed to 
the Register of Copyrights. If this is done, and the application, blanks 
carefully and properly filled out, prompt action can be taken and the 
delay resulting from the need for correspondence will be eliminated. 
Do not send currency or coin or postage stamps for fee; but prefer¬ 
ably a money order. Private checks not certified are not acceptable, 
and if sent will necessarily be returned.

British Copyright 

The law of copyright in Great Britain is now regulated by the Copy¬ 
right Act of 1911. Under this Act an American citizen can secure 
copyright for his original literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic 
works— 

(1) If he publishes the work for the first time in Great Britain. 

(2) The work, being first published in America, by publicaiton in 
this country not later than 14 days after the date of publication in 
America. 

(3) In the case of an unpublished work, without any formality 
other than compliance with the conditions and formalities prescribed 
by the United States law. 

There are no formalities to be observed such as registration or 
payment of fees. Further, “publication” is defined as “the issue 
of copies of the work to the public” and there is no “manufacturing” 
clause, such as is included in the United States Copyright Law in re¬ 
spect of books in the English language. 


Authors* Rights 

By J. Berg Esenwein 
Editor of The Writer’s Monthly 

Writers should carefully consider the matter of what rights they 
are offering to an editor when submitting manuscript for publication. 
It is impossible to make any useful statement that will apply uni¬ 
versally to the customs of publishers, for these vary too decidedly to 
make any such statement authoritative; several points, however, may 
be stated generally, together with other points that must be applied 
with judgment in each particular instance. 

Most publishers and editors are sure to give more consideration to 
the stipulations of a popular writer as to what rights he is willing to 
dispose of than to the conditions proposed by a writer of no importance 
to the general public. This is natural, though regrettable from the 
viewpoint of the novice. To state this general fact in other words: 
If the editorial purchaser of a manuscript is eager to possess himself 
of that manuscript he will be much more willing to concede to the 
author the possession of rights other than the ones that are com¬ 
monly called “First Magazine Rights.” 

Let us see what the several sorts of publication and production 
rights are: 

“First Magazine, or Serial, Rights” cover the right to publish a 
hitherto unpublished manuscript (some authorities say, the right to 
publish but one time) in the periodical by or for which it is purchased. 
This does not mean that that magazine must publish the manuscript, 
though some authors have so argued, for of course it is a hardship for 
an author to have a manuscript held in the editorial safe indefinitely, 
perhaps never to be published. Certainly the editor owes it to his 
contributor to print his manuscript as soon as is consistent with the 
welfare of the periodical. However, noHegal rights of the author are 
being invaded by the editor when he holds an accepted manuscript for 
years without publishing it, and there is no redress in such a case. 

When a magazine follows the discouraging policy of “payment on 
publication” it works an especial hardship on the author for the editor 
to hold a manuscript for years. The least that a considerate editor 
can do in such a case is either to break his rule and pay for a long- 
accepted manuscript before publication, or write to the author offer¬ 
ing him the choice of the return of the manuscript or the longer delay 
that is in prospect. The point now made is that the author has no 
legal redress for delay, but may demand the return of his unpaid-for 
manuscript if it is held an unreasonable length of time. First Maga¬ 
zine, or Serial, Rights are not acquired by the publisher or editor by 
mere acceptance, but only by payment of a consideration accepted by 
the author. 


AUTHORS' RIGHTS 


451 


First Rights in a manuscript may be disposed of by one magazine to 
another, but certainly no reputable magazine will sell First Rights in 
a manuscript to another magazine without first securing the consent 
of the author, except when business disaster forces a sale. 

“Second Serial, or Syndicate, Rights” mean the right to publish a 
manuscript in some other publication than the one in which it origi¬ 
nally appeared and, presumably, to which it is sold. For instance, 
McClure's Magazine might purchase a manuscript and, after arrang¬ 
ing with the author for Second Serial Rights, or buying from him “All 
Rights” (to be explained later), might dispose of the Second Serial, 
or Syndicate, Rights to the McClure Syndicate, whereupon the right 
to print it, in periodical form only, would in turn be sold by the 
syndicate to a number of newspapers or minor magazines under the 
copyright of the original owner, or of the concern that acquired that 
copyright by purchase. Syndicate Rights, of course, do not apply 
solely, or even chiefly, to material already published, but include the 
large class of writings prepared originally for press syndicates. 

“Book Rights” include only the rights covered by that term and 
do not interfere with the author’s other rights in a manuscript, unless 
mentioned in the contract. However, when an author sells a book 
manuscript outright (not on a royalty basis) he disposes of All 
Rights, unless it is otherwise specified in the terms of sale. 

“Photoplay Rights” cover the rights indicated by the name. They 
do not include Dramatic Rights. 

“Foreign Rights,” when not limited to any specific kinds of rights, 
such as are mentioned in this article, cover all rights in all foreign 
lands, including Canada—which does not seem “foreign” to an Ameri¬ 
can. Therefore in disposing of Foreign Rights the author should be 
careful not to give sweeping authorization unawares, but specify 
what sorts of rights are or are not included, and for what countries, 
by name. 

“British Rights” strictly do not include more than the rights—of 
whatever specified sort—for Great Britain and Ireland, though they 
are often interpreted as taking in 

“British Colonial Rights” which include all British possessions. 

“Translation Rights” belong to the owner of all rights in the manu¬ 
script, and may be sold by him separately for any specified country 
or countries, and to apply to any particular rights, such as magazine, 
book, or dramatic. As a rule, the publisher arranges for translations, 
and then only when a work is very popular. 

“All Rights” cover absolutely all possible rights, present or future, 
expressed or unexpressed in the contract, letter of acceptance, or form 
of receipt. In other words, when once an author disposes of All 
Rights, he has no longer any claims on the manuscript. 

When an author wishes to dispose of certain rights only, this fact 
should be mentioned on the manuscript itself—say, in the upper 
right-hand corner—and also in the letter that accompanies the manu¬ 
script. For instance, if the writer is willing to dispose only of the 
first serial rights, the following words should be written on the manu¬ 
script. “First Serial Rights only are offered,” or “First Magazine 


452 


WHERE AND HOW TO SELL MANUSCRIPTS 


Rights only are offered.” This fact should also be stated in the same 
words in the letter. If, however the author is willing to dispose of 
both First and Second Serial Rights—or First and Second Magazine 
Rights, which is merely a variation of terms—this fact should also be 
stated, similarly. 

Some publishers refuse to buy a manuscript unless they can pro¬ 
cure All Rights. If this is the case in any individual instance, the 
publisher should be willing to pay a sum somewhat in excess of what 
he would be willing to pay for merely the First Magazine, or Serial, 
Rights. 

Even when the author has specifically stated in his letter and on his 
manuscript that only First Rights are offered, he should be careful to 
observe what kind of receipt he signs and returns to the publisher. 
Also, he should examine the form of letter or printed slip that is sent 
with the check. If the receipt specifies “for All Rights,” and the 
author signs that receipt, or if the letter or printed slip accompanying 

the check says, “In full for manuscript entitled -,” the 

author has disposed of all his rights, whether he has intended to do so 
or not, and he is thereafter entirely dependent upon the good will of 
the publisher for any further benefit that may accrue from that 
manuscript. 

It must be admitted that the average story, poem or article does not 
possess any more than first serial or magazine value. A few are of 
the brief and crisp sort that can be used to advantage in secondary or 
syndicate publication, but only a few. Still fewer have any value for 
the photoplay screen, and a very few can be turned into one-act 
plays or full evening plays. Foreign and translation rights are also 
rarely of value except to an author of considerable vogue. These facts 
being true, the author does not run an extraordinary risk if he disposes 
of all rights to his manuscript, yet now and then it is quite possible 
that a manuscript sold as a short-story may turn out to be of very 
great value. For instance, Mary Roberts Rinehart sold the manuscript 
of “Seven Days” as a novelette to the writer of this article, for publi¬ 
cation in Lippincott’s Magazine, disposing of First Rights only. If 
she had sold All Rights to this manuscript, she would have lost many 
thousands of dollars, as later, it became the most successful play of 
the season, and was published in book form under another title. 
When Ellis Parker Butler sold “Pigs is Pigs” as a short-story he had 
no idea that it would prove to be of great value in the form of a small 
book. I do not know what rights he parted with in selling his story 
to the magazine editor, but the examples are both in point—and both 
are very exceptional, of course. 

Some editors are willing to enter into a written agreement (and 
no agreements but written agreements are likely to be of any value) 
assuring the author of a percentage—say, 50%—of the net proceeds 
that may accrue to the publisher from the sale of a certain manuscript 
as a photoplay, as a play, or for second serial or syndicate uses. How¬ 
ever, the magazine publisher or editor ought not to claim any portion 
of the proceeds from the Book Rights in a magazine manuscript, as 
they are usually regarded as being entirely separate from First Mag¬ 
azine, or Serial, Rights, and are the rightful natural possession of the 
author. As has been said, this point can only be covered by specific 



AUTHORS’ RIGHTS 


453 


agreement, or by a stipulation by letter or receipt-form that only 
such and such rights are disposed of when the manuscript is sold to a 
magazine. 

The question of copyright can be adjusted by arranging specifically 
with the publisher to copyright a certain manuscript, either in the 
name of the author or in the name of the publisher. In the latter 
case, the publisher should agree to transfer the copyright to the 
author upon demand, for some nominal consideration. This is a simple 
process. However, it is not practicable to insist that a magazine pub¬ 
lisher should copyright small and inconsequential material in the name 
of the author, as he would rather forego the privilege of purchasing 
that material than put himself to too much trouble, as may be readily 
understood. The usual process is for the publisher to copyright each 
separate issue of his magazine as a whole, and not the articles and 
stories individually. 

The sum of the foregoing advice is that the author should exercise 
common sense in disposing of rights. In most cases it would be better 
to allow the publisher to have all rights than to forego the chance of 
a sale, but nearly all magazine publishers are disposed to be reason¬ 
able, and will agree to share any future profits that may arise from 
supplementary sales from a manuscript. The chief point is that 
author and publisher should clearly understand each other, without 
the author’s losing his rights, yet without harassing the publisher by 
making unnecessary stipulations regarding a trifling matter, for in 
that case the young writer is likely to lose sales. No good can come 
from being bumptious.

Topical Index 

This index does not re-state topically all the markets given in 
“Where and How to Sell Manuscripts”—for an index of such propor¬ 
tions would be larger than the book itself. It is, however, intended 
to suggest markets in great variety bringing them to mind more or 
less automatically, and rendering them readier of access. For this 
reason the headings are in the man specific instead of general. 

The general markets will be found easily enough by reason of 
the classifications of the book That is, the taker of pictures would 
naturally look up the Photographic Markets Section for place to sell 
his prints; while the inventor of a new kink in taking pare of type¬ 
writers would get a line on a market for his item by looking up “Office 
Appliances” in the Topical Index, or he might look up “Efficiency 
Methods.” Nor would these, by any means, exhaust the possibilities. 

Under no circumstances rely solely on information gleaned from 
this list. After you have found what seem to be likely markets for 
your work, look up the complete statements about these markets in 
the body of the book. Otherwise you may be misled. Under “Achieve¬ 
ment Articles,”—a heading chosen for the sake of example—several 
markets are listed but this does not mean that all these magazines 
are interested in the same sort of achievement. 

Finally, a warning must be issued that market slants, especially 
where reflecting current conditions, are subject to sudden change. 
Above all things, commonsense must govern the sales operations of 
the writer. 

British and foreign markets are excluded from this index.

ERRATA 


These magazines were inadvertently omitted from the 
section devoted to Women’s and Household Periodicals. 

Good Housekeeping, 119 West 40th St., New York. Monthly; 25c; 
$3.00. Editor, W. F. Bigelow. A well-illustrated woman’s magazine 
for cultural readers. Prints stories oi real distinction from 4000 to 
5000 words, but preferably not the “woman’s magazine” type. Uses 
also good verse. As an example of the material used, a representa¬ 
tive issue contained installments of three serials (these are usually 
arranged for, being by established and well known writers), four 
short-stories set in the present day, and three lyrical poems. This 
number also contained several short articles of home and general 
interest, two children’s pages in full color, and the usual depart¬ 
mental material—including the Discoveries column, for which short 
paragraphs telling about home inventions and short-cuts are re¬ 
quired. Manuscripts reported on in two weeks. Payment on accept¬ 
ance. Other magazines of this general type are: Vogue, The De¬ 
lineator, McCall’s Magazine, and Pictorial Review. 

Good Stories, Augusta, Maine. Monthly; 25c. A mail order 
paper. A recent number contained installments of two serials and 
two complete short-stories, together with departmental matter. Oth¬ 
er magazines of this type are: Comfort, Home Friend Magazine, 
Household. 

Harper’s Bazar, 110 West 40th St., New York. Monthly; 50c; 
$4.00. Editor, Henry B. Sell. A beautifully illustrated fashion maga¬ 
zine. Naturally, the chief stress is placed upon the various interests 
of women, especially of society people. All the fashion material is 
written by members of the staff. The short-stories must be modern 
and authoritative in manner. The editor reports: “We publish sev¬ 
eral short-stories in each issue, besides two serials. We have oc¬ 
casional travel articles signed and written by society women, and oc¬ 
casional art and music articles, written by authorities in these fields. 
We use stage photographs in every issue, and also fashion photo¬ 
graphs planned especially by our staff. We report on material within 
a week, and pay on acceptance.” 

The Heart of the Home, 1136 South Seventh St., Camden, N. J. 
Monthly; 25c a year. Editor and Publisher, Theodore Wilson Messick. 
A home and mail order periodical devoted chiefly to national editorials 
by the editor, moving pictures,, radio and health. Fictionization of 
moving picture plays. 

Hearth and Home, Augusta, Maine. Monthly; 25c per year. One 
of the Vickery and Hill “mail-order” list. Uses both reprint and 
original serials, and short-stories of love and adventure.
